Community Engagement

Yakima’s Ship Shop has called the Yakima Valley home since 2008, and we believe being a local business means more than simply doing business in the community. It means being part of the community.

For us, giving back isn’t a marketing campaign or something we check off a list. It’s part of who we are. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of supporting local schools, youth sports teams, nonprofit organizations, fundraisers, community events and families throughout the Yakima Valley. Sometimes that means making a donation or sponsoring an event. Other times it means using our store, our resources and our reach to help bring attention to a cause that matters.

We also believe one of the best ways a small business can strengthen its community is by supporting other small businesses. That’s why we intentionally collaborate with local companies and make space in our store for products created by makers, growers and businesses from Yakima and throughout Washington and the Pacific Northwest.

As an independently owned business, we get to decide what kind of business we want to be. We choose to be one that shows up, gets involved and gives back whenever we can.

The Yakima Valley has supported Yakima’s Ship Shop for more than 18 years. Supporting the community that made those years possible isn't an obligation. It's a privilege.
