Jeff Bridges Supporting the Unity Shoppe 2007

Jeff Bridges Supporting the Unity Shoppe 2007 Unity Philosophy If we help with "basic needs" we can prevent "homelessness and welfare dependency". No progress is possible without shelter, food and clothing. By supplementing these basic necessities, people have the ability to pay their rent and utilities. Then, they are able to move their lives forward. The Unity Shoppe also teaches volunteers office and computer skills, merchandising, inventory control and customer relations as we prepare people for future job opportunities. More than 14,000 people are referred yearly by over 260 non-profit agencies, churches, schools and hospitals. By providing a central distribution facility available to all non-profits we can eliminate duplication and save countless dollars. This makes it possible to help more people with better and more consistent support services. Unity Shoppe operates a year-round "Free" grocery and clothing store so people can shop with dignity for their needs. Over 4,000 Volunteers help a small staff of 15. Over 2-Million dollars in merchandise is distributed annually. 1219 State Street Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Phone: (805) 965-4122 Toll Free: (800) 252-8542 Fax (805) 963-0950
