What if the key to transforming your community was within your reach? Join us as Bob Dalton, entrepreneur and TEDx speaker, reveals how his personal journey inspired the creation of Sackcloth and Ashes, a company dedicated to helping the homeless. Learn about his unwavering commitment to localism—a philosophy that emphasizes the power of making a tangible impact within your own community. Bob talks about the pivotal moments that shaped his mission and outlines the three pillars of localism: changing public perception, encouraging community participation, and focusing on proximity.
Discover the unique story behind Sackcloth and Ashes, a company that donates a blanket to a local homeless shelter for every blanket sold. Bob takes us through his grassroots journey from buying fabric at Joanne's Fabric to establishing a flourishing business that not only provides warmth but also fosters community involvement. He introduces innovative concepts like the "think out of the box" method, which encourages customers to fill their blanket packaging with essential items for local shelters. We also uncover special initiatives aimed at realtors that amplify the company's impact.
Celebrate the heroes among us as Bob shines a spotlight on grassroots leaders who make a significant difference in their communities. We discuss the development of LoveYourCity.org, a platform designed to connect people with local nonprofits and organizations. Hear a touching personal story about how a blanket drop in Portland led to Bob's mother getting sober and thriving, underscoring the profound impact of community support. Join us every Thursday at 7 pm on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for more updates and stories that remind us of the power of giving back.
"Bob is transforming the lives of people in communities all over the nation, one blanket at a time. His company Sackcloth and Ashes donates a blanket to a shelter closest to your community for every blanket you purchase. Amazing Story of WHY this is passion and what drives him to spread the word about LOCALISM. Must listen episode!" - Brad Weisman

I've been fortunate enough to serve buyers and sellers since 1992 and I still get a rush from saying... "you just bought a home"
