Collaborations
Art Based Initiatives
In 2020, Patches to Patches partnered with Changes By Day for a meaningful collaboration centered around creativity, compassion, and community impact. During a time when connection was needed most, the two organizations launched a customized mask initiative, allowing supporters to design unique masks that expressed hope and resilience. Proceeds from every mask went directly to Changes By Day, supporting their mission to empower individuals through healing, growth, and positive change. This collaboration not only raised funds but also united people through art—reminding everyone that transformation and kindness can flourish, even in challenging times.
Wellness - Focused
Youngstown State University (YSU) and Changes By Day teamed up for a powerful virtual 5K event that brought together students, alumni, and community members from across the region. The YSU Virtual 5K x Changes By Day collaboration aimed to promote wellness, connection, and resilience during a challenging year. Participants ran or walked from their own locations, united by a shared purpose—to support Changes By Day’s mission of empowering individuals through healing and positive transformation. Proceeds from the event helped fund Changes By Day involvement within the homeless community. This partnership highlighted how movement—both physical and emotional—can inspire meaningful change, one step at a time.
Community - Driven
Changes By Day partnered with the YMCA to uplift and support grandparents who are raising their grandchildren — a group often balancing love, responsibility, and unexpected challenges. Through this heartfelt collaboration, Changes By Day provided essential supplies, care packages, and resources to help meet daily needs and ease financial burdens. Beyond the tangible support, the initiative fostered a sense of connection, reminding families that they are not alone. Together, Changes By Day and the YMCA demonstrated the power of community compassion — showing that when generations come together, everyone grows stronger.
