Support your local Real Change vendor with a direct gift today!
You can support Real Change vendors directly with a gift through Venmo. Simply download and open the Venmo app on your smartphone, search for @Real-Change, and type your vendor's name and badge number in the description. COVID-19 has deeply impacted vendors' income. The Seattle streets are empty, and social distancing makes selling the paper a challenge.
Real Change has adopted new strategies to support our community, like weekly check in calls and grocery distribution. You can support our general operations with a gift here.
Please note: Real Change is unable to give cash directly to a vendor. Venmo is the only way we are able to facilitate direct gifts. If you wish to send mail to your vendor, you can address an envelope to [VENDOR NAME], Real Change, 219 1st Ave. S, Ste 220, Seattle, WA 98104. Real Change never opens vendors’ mail, and it is given directly to the vendor the next time they visit the Vendor Center.
