This Thanksgiving was a truly special one for the youth at Compass House, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community partners. We were honored to receive support from Octavius Marks, Classic Soul Catering, and Ingram Micro, whose combined efforts created an unforgettable holiday experience for our clients.
Octavius Marks: A Brand with Vision and Heart
Octavius Marks isn’t just a clothing company—it’s a movement. Known for their exclusive designer pieces, the brand operates with a unique approach that makes their clothing highly sought after. Octavius Marks works on a "drop" model, releasing limited collections of custom designs through an exclusive website where only those with access can shop. Each drop is curated with precision, offering bold, cutting-edge styles that are as unique as the individuals who wear them.
In addition to their online drops, Octavius Marks hosts pop-up shops across the country, giving fans a chance to snag their pieces in person. These events are nothing short of spectacular, often selling out in less than a day. Their ability to connect with their customers through both exclusivity and creativity has made Octavius Marks a standout brand in the fashion world.
But what sets Octavius Marks apart isn’t just their clothing—it’s their commitment to giving back. This Thanksgiving, they brought their passion and generosity to Compass House by partnering with Classic Soul Catering to host an in-house Thanksgiving meal for our clients. Together, they created a delicious and welcoming feast, filling our shelter with warmth, community, and gratitude.
We are truly inspired by Octavius Marks’ dedication to not only creating exceptional fashion but also making a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Their kindness and support have left a
lasting impression on everyone at Compass House.
Ingram Micro: A Partnership That Changes Lives
Another standout supporter this holiday season was Ingram Micro, a longtime partner of Compass House and the recipient of this year’s Community Partnership Award at our Annual Fundraising Dinner. Their continued generosity is nothing short of extraordinary, and their partnership means the world to us and our clients.
This Thanksgiving, Ingram Micro once again donated full Thanksgiving meal kits, complete with everything a family might need to celebrate the holiday. Their thoughtful contributions have brought comfort and joy to countless families in our community over the years.
Ingram Micro’s unwavering commitment to our mission is a testament to their values and dedication to making a difference. Their support helps us provide not only essential resources but also moments of celebration and hope for the youth we serve.
Gratitude for a Community That Cares
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the power of community, and this year, we were reminded of just how strong ours is. Thanks to Octavius Marks, Classic Soul Catering, and Ingram Micro, our clients experienced a holiday filled with kindness, compassion, and delicious food.
We are endlessly grateful for these partnerships and the impact they have on our work. It’s because of incredible supporters like these that we can continue to provide critical services and build a brighter future for homeless and runaway youth in our community.
Thank you, Octavius Marks, Classic Soul Catering, and Ingram Micro, for making this Thanksgiving truly unforgettable. 🧡
