We’re saying no thanks to Black Friday, and yes please to Green Friday!

Green Friday was created to resist the overconsumption of Black Friday and to highlight conscious choices that prioritize sustainability and community. While the big box stores entice you with Black Friday sales, we want to shine a light on smaller, locally-owned, or sustainable businesses that donate a portion of their sales to RAVEN!

Whether a physical gift, a service, or an experience, these amazing businesses make ‘giving green’ a matter of community, sustainability, and profit. We understand how overwhelming it can be to shop wisely, live green, and ensure that your spending aligns with your values. We’re not in denial that holiday shopping is going to happen no matter what we do — but, we want to encourage you to think before you purchase, only buy what is necessary, and if you have to make a purchase today (or any time of the year) — consider supporting businesses that are giving back.

Our incredible community of businesses makes such an impact. By choosing to direct your purchases toward these businesses, you are not only supporting them, but you are also supporting RAVEN, too. Thank you to all of the businesses that support us today and all year long. If you want to do good business and support RAVEN, learn how your business or workplace can get involved here.
