Jen P, a longtime subscriber to Diamond-Cut Life , has won a 541 Threads t-shirt, made in the U.S. 

Jen is a warm, vivacious person who is unusually rich in what matters. I know this about her because we both go to the same neighborhood church here in Southeast Portland. She is bilingual and for years has supported Manos Unidas Peru, a nonprofit that prepares children with disabilities for a successful future.

After Jen chooses her t-shirt and DCL pays for it, 541 Threads will donate five meals to food banks that feed hungry people. They’ve fed more than 36,000 folks to date.

I really love that about them. Giving makes us rich in what matters. So does nature, the arts, community and work we believe in.
