Timbuk2’s recycled bags are donated to the San Francisco based non-profit, <a href="http://atthecrossroads.org/">At The Crossroads (ATC)</a>. The economy has been tough on organizations like ATC but founder, <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/02/18/DDK715RIMU.DTL">Rob Gitin</a>, and his team have dug in and ensure their service level to San Francisco’s youth does not decline. We visited ATC at their office in the Mission a few weeks ago and learned just how exceptional their service level is. </p>
<p>The ATC team forms meaningful relationships with their clients that often last as many as ten years. And when clients come into their office for supplies, they select items from a merchandised assortment of high quality food, clothing, hygienic supplies, and Timbuk2 bags. The goal is create a shopping experience in which clients select items with pride and dignity rather than feeling like they’re taking hand-outs. That means the bags we donate to ATC must be in <strong>good shape</strong>. If they’re not, ATC can’t use them. So if you’re <a href="http://www.timbuk2.com/wordpress_cms/customer-service/bag-recycling/">recycling your bag</a>, think about if it would look sharp in ATC’s store. If not, maybe you can find another home for it. A big cheers to ATC; impressive impressive organization.</p>
