Meet our Key Partners: Best Buddies and Covenant House

We are thrilled to partner with Best Buddies International and Covenant House International to bring our Open Door mission to life. Through grants, employee volunteerism, and customer activations, we support and amplify the tremendous work these organizations are doing to provide resources and programs to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and youth experiencing homelessness. In our first year together, we have supported It’s a Match! parties across the country, where youth with IDD are partnered with volunteer buddies, sponsored an LGBTQ+ Prom for Covenant House youth, volunteered at Leadership Training events with Best Buddies, and we are just getting started.

Local Chapters Lead the Way in our Communities

Dedicated Shutterfly employees at multiple sites extend the reach of Shutterfly’s Open Door Project by engaging with local community organizations. We provide grants and employee volunteers to organizations supporting marginalized communities, at-risk youth, people experiencing homelessness or hunger, veterans, and more. In 2021, battling through the ongoing pandemic, hundreds of employees across the country engaged in dozens of volunteer events, contributed significant in-kind donations, and donated tens of thousands of dollars back to the communities where we live and work.

Celebrating Decades of Impact with the Lifetouch Memory Mission

The Lifetouch Memory Mission has been serving communities in need for more than twenty years. Since 2000, Lifetouch has organized 17 week-long trips, traveling to nine destinations around the world including Haiti, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Kosovo and more, for a week of intensive volunteer service. On each trip, nearly 50 volunteers representing national partners in education and company employees work side by side to invest in communities that need it most. Over the years, the Lifetouch Memory Mission has contributed more than 6,000 days of service from more than 500 volunteers from 48 states and five Canadian provinces. While building structures like schools, bridges, and homes to enhance community needs, volunteers have also photographed, printed, and hand delivered 6,000 student and family photos.
