We have been proud members of 1% for the Planet since 2023. When we joined, we committed to donating 1% of annual sales to non profit partners addressing today's most pressing challenges including climate change, food and water scarcity, pollution, and wildlife preservation. That decision allowed us to support the causes that mean the most to us and while also allowing our giving to change and to evolve over time.
We wanted to share the charities we chose for 2024:
World Central Kitchen - WCK does amazing work feeding folks & providing potable water in areas impacted by conflict & disasters. They have been assisting in Gaza as much as they are able to while still helping state side through the impacts of Helene and other natural disasters.
Eco-Soap Bank - Eco-Soap Bank employs women to recycle soap scraps (from soap makers like us!) into new bars that are then distributed where they are most needed.
Appalachian Trail Conservancy - The Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s mission is to protect, manage, and advocate for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.
Carolina Raptor Center - Carolina Raptor Center aims to ignite a passion for raptors and a responsibility for our shared natural world. They rescue birds, rehab them, and provide education. {Julia has a fondness for large birds, and the Raptor Center is an amazing facility close to us!}
