Design Gives Backā¢ provides rooms for hope, health and happiness for those in-need. Since 1992, we have facilitated life-changing workshops, community programs and inspirational makeovers. We believe that a small budget can mean big creativity. The ideas you will find here are the outcome of give-back generosity by our kind donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers.
"Design Gives Back welcomes all that love to design, build or decorate. Our mission is to help those in-need to have more positive living conditions. Hope comes when walls turn from cracked and peeling, to smooth and colorful. The ability to see life differently is prompted by a change in one's surroundings. Cancer patient Colette is an inspiring example of the process. We see her world go from negative to positive in just a few days. Planning a brighter future -- a new job, loving relationships, healthier habits -- is easier when renewed rooms prove that renewed lives are possible for the tired or homeless. It is in this way that design volunteers become heroes, angels and missionaries."
