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.
