Purely Giving Project







Giving back is an integral part of our ongoing quest to live purely and this month we want to show how grateful we are by giving back to those in need. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday season, we will be donating 10% of online sales throughout November to a non-profit chosen by you, our fans.

As members of 1% for the planet, our goal is to support non-profit organizations that strive to help the health of our planet and future generations. That is why we have chosen the following three non-profits: Feeding America, Slow Food USA and Charity:water as candidates for this month’s donations. All three organizations are doing amazing work in helping alleviate serious food and water related issues that are compromising the health of people in America and all over the world. Please read up on these organizations and take our poll to vote for the non-profit that you feel should be the recipient of 10% of this month’s sales. 

Poll is open through November 29th. Click here to cast your vote for our Purely Giving Project.
