We Always Love Our Neighbors
What Is A WALON?
WALON stands for We Always Love Our Neighbors, but WALON is more than just an acronym; we're a community of individuals dedicated to spreading love and kindness. When you see someone wearing a WALON hat, using a WALON cup, or wearing a WALON shirt, you're encountering a "WALON" — someone who believes in the power of loving ourselves and loving others through purposeful acts of kindness and positive messaging.
​
Our goal is to inspire curiosity and conversation. When you hear the term "WALON," we want you to ask, "What the heck is a WALON?" This question gives us the opportunity to share our mission: to remind ourselves each day that "I am Loved" and to remind others that "You Are Loved." By wearing or using WALON products, you're not just accessorizing; you're spreading a message of positivity and connection.
Our Story and Mission
WALON was born from the vision of our founder, Richard, who retired from the corporate world with a deep desire to make a meaningful impact in his community. Witnessing a world filled with brokenness, Richard knew he couldn't simply coast into retirement; he wanted to change lives by spreading love in any way possible. However, he recognized that true change must begin within.
​
Before Richard could pour out love to others, he realized the importance of filling himself with love. Each morning, he reminded himself that he is loved, which ignited a passion to share this message with everyone he encountered. Whether it was friends, family, or strangers facing challenges, Richard felt compelled to uplift and encourage those around him.
​
This personal journey led to the founding principles of WALON: to remind ourselves daily that "I am Loved" and to extend that same love to others. Our mission is to create a community of individuals who believe in the transformative power of kindness and self-affirmation, making a positive impact one act of love at a time.
Products With A Purpose
At WALON, our products are more than just items; they're vessels of positivity and connection. Each product is thoughtfully designed with dual messaging—providing affirmations both for the user and those they encounter.
I Am Loved
The phrase "I Am Loved" is more than just a message; it's a powerful affirmation that resonates at the core of our mission. This message is prominently featured on all our products to serve as a daily reminder—a reminder that before we can extend love to others, we must first recognize and cherish the love within ourselves.
You Are Loved
The phrase "You Are Loved" embodies the spirit of connection and empathy that drives our mission at WALON. This message is prominently displayed on our products as a heartfelt reminder to everyone we encounter—a reminder that they are valued, cherished, and deserving of love.
Pass It On
At WALON, our products are designed not only to uplift individuals but also to inspire a ripple effect of kindness and positivity. Each of our products comes in pairs—one for you and one to share with someone else. This intentional design encourages you to be a catalyst for positive change within your community.
