❤️ What's in The Empowerment Plan EMPWR Gift Pack, and does buying one help? I unbox the gift pack from this Detroit nonprofit, famous for its coat that turns into a sleeping bag, and every purchase helps fund their work.

🧥 About The Empowerment Plan
Founded by Veronika Scott, The Empowerment Plan is a Detroit-based nonprofit working to lift families out of the generational cycle of homelessness. It hires single parents from local shelters and trains them as full-time seamstresses to manufacture the durable EMPWR Coat, which transforms into a sleeping bag at night or an over-the-shoulder bag when not in use. The idea started in a class at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. The coats aren't sold to the public, because every coat goes to someone in need, so the shop is the way to support them.

📦 What's in the gift pack
The EMPWR Gift Pack was listed at $85 (about $90 for me, a little more with shipping) and includes the EMPWR sweatshirt, a logo T, an EMPWR tote bag and a decal. The linen-style tote has nylon handles and EMPWR Detroit branding, and doubles as a reusable shopping bag. The gray T-shirt is soft cotton with a retro-style logo and Detroit across the front. The star is the gray sweatshirt with EMPWR Detroit graffiti-style lettering: thin, fuzzy inside and super, super comfortable.

🎁 Great for Detroit fans, gift givers and anyone who wants their purchase to support a great social program.
