I'm a bit of a scarf hound...granted most of them come from Gap, Land's End, J Crew or H&M, I will one day add a scarf from Women Weave to my collection. Women Weave is an organization that is dedicated to empowering and improving the lives of women weavers in rural India. The product gallery is drool worthy... pardon me as I wipe off my keyboard. Not quite sure wear to buy them but a Google search should find the goods.
The Land of Nod, a children's furniture, accessories and toy company has done a wonderful thing. They have teamed up with No Kid Hungry, an organization dedicated to bringing awareness, and most importantly, an end to childhood hunger. You can make a donation right on their site or you can purchase one of a bunch of food related products and a portion of the proceeds will go to No Kid Hungry. Check it out to learn more.
Nothing is sweeter than a baby blanket.... these baby blankets, called "Many Hands Blankies" are even sweeter than your average blanket. You see, each 30" x 40" blankie is made in small batches by a group of enthusiastic developmentally disabled adults at CARC, a vocational training and job center in Chicago. The project was even covered by Chicago's own PBS station, WTTW. Each blanket, $75, is sweet for baby and sweet for the folks at CARC.
I have loved Fetch Dog ever since my lab arrived three years ago. BUT, I just discovered a reason to love them even more. They have a section of their site called Charitable Shops. Simply start shopping from one of the charitable shops and a portion of your entire purchase will be donated to that charity. The organizations include The Jane Goodall Institute, Puppies Behind Bars, Dog Tags, the ASPCA, Sundance Avalanche Rescue Dogs, Little Angels Pug Rescue and many more. What an easy way to get for your pooch and give back at the same time. Kudos, Fetch Dog.
