In the Community

Philanthropy

Philanthropy is a major component of Gapelii Brand's mission. As a result, our company donates 10% of all our proceeds back into the communities we serve. Although a global luxury brand, our business believes in investing and supporting the communities that support us by contributing to causes and organizations that address the most dire needs in those communities.

Community Partnership With Farm to Pantry

Through a new partnership with Healdsburg-based nonprofit, Farm to Pantry (F2P), we seeks to increase our community connections, presence and philanthropic impact within the Sonoma County community. We are now partnering with F2P to supply high-quality custom shirts, honoring volunteers or “hunger relief warriors” who have donated their time by gleaning locally-grown produce in the fields to help provide food for marginalized neighbors in Sonoma County. The shirts commemorate over 4 million servings of fruits and vegetables that have been distributed by Farm to Pantry since their inception in 2008.

Duskie Estes, F2P’s Executive Director said, “It is because of our ‘hunger relief warriors’ that we are able to feed as many people as we do, and we are proud to offer them a custom luxury t-shirt as a token of our appreciation. They deserve to be clad in Gapelii brand, and we are proud to support a Black-owned business that gives back.” The Farm to Pantry Gapelii long-sleeve heather shirts will also be for sale on the Gapelii Brand website for Farm to Pantry patrons, supporters and all interested customers, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to F2P.

Gapelii Brand welcomes all community organizations, nonprofits & local businesses interested in collaborating to us at info@gapeliibrand.com.

Farm to Pantry’s mission is to cultivate good health and community and to support environmental sustainability by rescuing locally-grown food and sharing it with those facing food injustice. The vision is for everyone to have access to healthy food that nourishes the community and is not wasted. F2P aims to mitigate climate change, address the wealth divide, honor its recipients and find solutions for ecological challenges & food justice/food insecurity.
