The founder of Jumping Beans Chicago, Amanda Time, held a silent auction event to help raise money to provide school supplies for Chicago area kids.
The goal of Jumping Beans is to provide students in grades K-12 in low-income Chicago Public Schools with the supplies necessary to promote learning.
Through donations from local artists and businesses, the organization was able to host an amazing event! We look forward to partnering with this program in the future!

The Green Wedding Alliance hosts a Wedding Recyclery at Loft on Lake every spring near Earth Day! There’s also a fall version that takes place at the Joinery in Logan Square.
The Recyclery is a huge garage sale style event where everyday folks can buy & sell gently loved wedding decor and other wedding related accessories.
If you’re getting married this year, consider renting a table to sell your used items or purchase tickets to save costs on wedding decor!
This event is a great way to reduce the amount of wedding decor in circulation and help increase sustainability within the wedding industry.
