Nurturing Our Community Together:
Our Journey of Giving Back

When we founded Nothing in Between in 2018, our vision extended beyond creating a sanctuary for self-care and sustainable practices for our Earth. While these remained core to our mission, we knew in our hearts that giving back would be a powerful force shaping our brand's journey. That's why we've pledged 1% of our sales to support local causes close to our hearts – because we believe in the power of purposeful giving. Though each individual action may seem small, we believe deeply in the ripple effect of collective kindness – when our NIB community comes together, these small acts of giving multiply into meaningful change that touches lives and strengthens our shared community. From the bottom of our hearts, we're grateful for your unwavering support that enables us to make a difference in our community. Together, we're not just dreaming of change – we're creating it, one compassionate act at a time.

Doorways is a compassionate community-based nonprofit providing services, shelter, and supportive housing for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and their families, with a special focus on supporting women through crisis, serving the Arlington and Falls Church, VA area. Through the kindness of community partners and supporters, they help our most vulnerable neighbors survive crisis, rebuild their lives, and achieve brighter futures.

Since 2019, NIB has been honored to support Doorways' vital mission. We're grateful to share that our founder, Jade, joined the Doorways' Executive Board in 2023. Through her work with NIB, she has dedicated herself to helping create safe spaces for vulnerable individuals, particularly women, to heal and rebuild. As an Executive Board Member, Jade looks forward to continuing to serve families in our community.

Just a walk from our Falls Church Studio, Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation works miracles every day, giving hope to pets who dream of finding their forever homes. Every tail wag and purr at their shelter tells a story of second chances and new beginnings. Their dedication has helped countless furry friends find loving families.

Our hearts first connected with LDCRF in 2014 when three special souls - Hongshi, Snowy, and Mochi - found their way into our founder Jade's home. Since then, we've been honored to support LDCRF's beautiful mission, joining hands with the NIB team to walk rescue dogs and support their shelter in Seven Corners. Each wagging tail and grateful bark reminds us why this work matters so much, and why we remain committed to helping more pets find their way home.

Food for Others, nestled in Fairfax, is a remarkable organization that brings hope and nourishment to neighbors struggling with hunger. Every warming meal shared helps brighten a family's day, and together with partners Capital One Center and Wegmans, we feel privileged to support FFO's heartfelt mission.

Being part of the FFO community has opened our eyes to both the challenges our neighbors face and the incredible meaningful difference a helping hand can make. We've deepened our commitment by introducing FFO to our NIB community, participating in their annual 5K run fundraising with our clients to spread awareness. We offer vital support to FFO's tireless efforts to ensure every local family in Northern Virginia has fresh food on their table - because no one should have to wonder where their next meal will come from.

Collaboration

At Nothing in Between, we cherish the beauty of working hand-in-hand with fellow small businesses and brands in our local community, each bringing their unique gifts to our shared journey. With a special place in our hearts for women-owned enterprises, we love taking our services beyond our walls through intimate pop-up events, creating precious moments of connection in new spaces. With open arms, we welcome local artisans and entrepreneurs into our spaces, creating beautiful opportunities for them to share their stories and creations with our beloved community. We believe that when small businesses support each other, magic happens – when we lift each other up, we all rise higher. As they say, real queens fix each other's crowns, and that's exactly what our community is all about.
