Trapped in Time

Our Newest Site: Bin Donated

Bin Donated is a new Chicago charitable organization whose goal is to create awareness around poverty, homelessness, and general problems in the city of Chicago. The organization is just launching, but hopes to have barrels in thousands of businesses and high rise buildings in Chicago within weeks to collect soaps, canned goods, clothing, etc.

I’m particularly proud of this site because it’s the first fully functional Drupal eCommerce site that I’ve built (and partially designed) by myself, and it features some of my Chicago photography as well. In the future we’re going to be integrating a lot of functionality that connects buildings, individuals, and sponsors.

If you’re interested in learning more or volunteering, check out the site. The launch party will be Wednesday, November 18, at Flatwater Grill.  Tickets are $30 through the site, and $40 the day of. We’re expecting a couple hundred people in attednance, and everyone will be served vodka, rum and beer.  Additionally, if you decide to come, please bring your travel size shampoo, conditioner, lotion and bar soap to donate to one of the barrels.

If you’re in Chicago, definitely take a look. I think Bin Donated is going to make a big difference this winter and beyond.
