Ready for your weekly debrief? I know I am! Here's your weekly Zen Space post!
Last Wednesday, Amazon announced they'll be donating more than 47,000 square feet of space in their new Seattle headquarters to go towards being a permanent location to house homeless people. Amazon is partnering once again with local nonprofit Mary's Place to create 65 rooms in the building which will house more than 200 homeless people every night. The space is expected to open in early 2020. In 2016, Amazon worked with Mary's Place to temporarily provide housing for 200 homeless people in 1 of its empty buildings. During its announcement on Wednesday, Amazon also said they'll be working with Mary's Place to move these families out of this building and place them in a former hotel across the street because they'll be using the space these families were in for offices. Also, something you may not have been paying attention to as you're order things on Amazon. Since March of 2016, customers have been able to order items from the Mary's Place's wishlist on the site and have them sent to a family who's experiencing homelessness. Kudos to Amazon for doing good things for the community! And I bet you'll be on the lookout for the Mary's Place Wishlist the next time you're filling up your csrt on Amazon!
