The Hygge Bank
We named our “piggy” bank after our cat, Hygge.
-
The word Hygge is Danish and is about calm, soft, soothing and comfortable. In other words, hygge promotes an anti-anxiety environment for living and spending time with close friends and loved ones.
Our BOGO shirts have great designs that also spread a message for the animals. You can feel good about your purchase knowing that you're raising awareness for homeless animals AND helping shelters get some much needed swag for their volunteers.
​
For every BOGO t-shirt purchase on our online store, Shelter Swag donates a “shirt-worth” to the “Hygge Bank”. When the Hygge Bank is sufficiently full of shirts from the BOGO purchases, we send tees to the neediest shelters for their volunteers.
-
Why tees for volunteers? Well, we figure if a shelter or rescue doesn’t have enough money to giveaway or sell any swag, they can start where they need it most – with their volunteers.
-
Being able to spot a volunteer in a crowd is a huge bonus. Having color coordinated shirts for volunteers with different levels of animal care and handling experience helps staff know who is trained to do what.
-
And, if volunteers walk around town wearing their organization’s tees, they’ll do a lot of great advertising for their favorite shelter or rescue and get the kudos they deserve for being a volunteer!
