Hydro Flask has donated approximately 6,000 of its products to the Community Action Partnership of Oregon (CAPO) and its 17 Community Action Agencies (CAAs).
Hydro Flask food and beverage flasks are made from 18/8 stainless steel, BPA-free, 100 percent recyclable and backed by a lifetime warranty. The product donation is aimed at helping CAPO’s agencies, whose mission is to eradicate poverty in Oregon.
On Jan. 29, CAA volunteers throughout Oregon, including Central Oregon-based NeighborImpact, will conduct a one-night count of the state’s homeless population. Volunteers will use Hydro Flasks to provide homeless individuals with drinking water, hot coffee and warm food, along with items such as blankets and clothing. Volunteers visit shelters, homeless camps, their amazing support and donation during this event,” said NeighborImpact CEO and CAPO board member Scott Cooper. “The one-night count is critical to funding and the fight against homelessness and poverty in Oregon. Many of us take for granted the ability to keep things hot or cold. For a homeless person, a Hydro Flask is truly a luxury.”
Hydro Flasks were distributed across the state from the company’s Portland warehouse by community action agencies and with the help of the Oregon Food Bank.
“Caring, believing and committing to ourselves, each other and our community is part of who we are,” said Hydro Flask CEO Scott Allan. “We make a promise to make the world around us a better place and we’re happy to be able to support CAPO’s efforts in ending homelessness in Oregon.”
