Mrs. Meyer‘s Clean Day first-ever Compassion Store is located at 2 Rivington Street in New York.
You can visit for free up until June 1 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is the perfect place where compassion is currency.
As part of the second inaugural year of the brand’s Lots of Compassion program, a national commitment empowering community growth through the transformation of vacant lots into flourishing gardens, the shop spreads a message of positive vibes.
Inside the shop, there’s no need for cards or cash – only kindness. The free experience transforms a vacant retail space into a hub for tangible acts of compassion like calling or texting a loved one, supporting a small business with a positive review, posting something kind on social media, or manifesting self-compassion with a postcard. These acts can be exchanged for garden-themed items like plants, a bouquet, Arber organic plant food, or Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Compassion Flower Hand Soap.
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day is also spreading compassion across the country with mini-versions of the Compassion Store at various Walmart locations throughout June in Phoenix, AZ; Ft. Smith, AR; Chicago, IL; Rockford, IL; and Dallas-Fort Worth, TX.
With two-thirds of Americans feeling that the U.S. has a ‘Compassion Gap,’1 Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day launched the Lots of Compassion program last year to show how the goodness of the garden can grow a more compassionate world. In exchange for small acts of compassion, Compassion Store shoppers will receive useful products that will help them grow compassion in their own backyards.
From the Store Front to Vacant Lots: How Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Is Spreading Compassion
The Compassion Store and Walmart pop-ups are extensions of Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day’s Lots of Compassion program, a five-year commitment to donate $1 million from Compassion Flower product sales in support of local efforts transforming vacant lots into community gardens. This year, for every Compassion Flower Hand Soap sold on MrsMeyers.com, in-store at Walmart and on Walmart.com, $1 (up to $200K annually) is donated directly to nationwide community garden efforts.
Through July 31st, 2024, local organizations, non-profits and others working in the community garden space can apply online HERE and receive funds to transform vacant or untended land into flourishing community gardens. Applications will be facilitated by Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day’s long-standing partner, KidsGardening.org.
More Than a Scent
Compassion Flower is a first-of-its-kind hybrid between the Viola and Pansy that Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day collaborated with horticulturalists at PanAmerican Seed to create. The sweet, floral notes of the Compassion Flower inspired the Compassion Flower scented products, available at Mrs.Meyers.com, Walmart and other major retailers nationwide.
