How Genoa Avenue Supports Local Communities and Gives Back Through Eco-Friendly Products and Charitable Donations

At Genoa Avenue, we thrive on the idea of community. Our mission goes beyond designing beautiful products; it’s about building connections and making a positive impact. One of the highlights of our journey has been partnering with a local Thai family in Chiang Mai who handcrafts our wooden products. Let’s explore how this partnership works and how we can make a difference together.


Supporting Local Artisans


Discovering this talented family in Thailand was a pivotal moment for us. They create stunning wooden products that combine functionality with rich artistry. By collaborating with them, we not only help provide stable employment but also allow them to support their extended families and communities.

This partnership helps preserve traditional woodworking techniques that have been passed down through generations. For example, each artisan spends hours creating a single piece, ensuring quality and care. By using high-quality, sustainably sourced wood, we are not only assisting these artisans with their livelihoods; we are also honoring eco-friendly practices that respect both the environment and their cultural heritage.


Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Choices


Our commitment to the environment is evident in the materials we choose. Our products are crafted from eco-friendly materials, significantly reducing reliance on single-use plastics. Research shows that by opting for wooden alternatives over plastic, we can decrease plastic waste by nearly 30% in our daily choices.

Our wooden products are designed to last for years, encouraging a lifestyle focused on sustainability without sacrificing quality or design. When you choose our items, you play a part in this movement toward a healthier planet.


Giving Back to Charities


We are also dedicated to supporting our communities in Jacksonville and Chiang Mai. We donate 10% of our profits to four carefully selected charities: Angels for Allison, Seamark Ranch, Hug Project, and Freedom Story.


With each purchase, you can select one of these charities to support, creating a personal connection to our mission of helping children and families in need. As a mom of two, I am extremely passionate with this cause. It’s heartbreaking to see children facing hardships, and I believe we all have a role in creating a brighter future for them.

These charities focus on different aspects of child welfare, from education to health care, ensuring that they receive the support necessary to thrive. By partnering with these organizations, we are not just giving back; we are investing in the potential of the next generation.


The Impact of Your Purchase


Every purchase from Genoa Avenue represents more than just a transaction. It’s an investment in a brighter future for many. Your support helps us make a significant impact, and we couldn’t do it without you.


Buying one of our handcrafted wooden products not only provides work for artisans in Thailand but also supports impactful charities. When I pack these items, I am reminded of the change they can inspire. Each product can foster hope and opportunity for those in need, especially children who depend on support for a better tomorrow.


Our charitable efforts mean that together with our customers, we can help create a brighter future for vulnerable populations. Every contribution counts in shaping a better world for our children.


A Collective Responsibility


We all share the responsibility of caring for our communities and the environment. By supporting Genoa Avenue, you embrace a mission focused on social responsibility, sustainability, and community well-being.


The craftsmanship of our artisans, paired with our commitment to giving back, creates a supportive cycle that uplifts our local community and reaches across the globe.


Together for a Better Tomorrow


At Genoa Avenue, our work is about connection, sustainability, and bettering future generations. By supporting Thai artisans, promoting eco-friendly practices, and donating to impactful charities, we are working toward creating a better world.


Thank you for being part of this mission. Together, we can uplift communities, support those in need, and take steps toward sustainability—while enjoying beautiful, quality products that have a story to share. Let’s continue this journey together, for every child and every community.
