For more than 75 years, we’ve been protecting our customers from the weather, and recognize our responsibility to protect all people from the elements in an even bigger capacity.

We believe in taking care of people. We understand that it’s a holistic approach to social impact that brings the greatest change.

We take a full-forced approach in the areas with the biggest impact - environmentally, philanthropically, ethically and economically. People matter to us here and taking care of them means taking our Corporate Responsibility seriously.


Shelter for Shelter

At SHED RAIN, we believe shelter is a basic human right and it’s something we care about deeply. That’s why a portion of our proceeds goes to supporting the disadvantaged, both globally and in our hometown of Portland, Oregon.

OUR FOCUS

Today, more people within the U.S. are experiencing homelessness than ever before.  

18 out of every 10,000 Americans have been displaced. That’s over 653,104 men, women, and children, including survivors of domestic violence, the elderly, and unhoused youth making the need for Shelter for Shelter greater than ever before.
