Giving Is the Brand!

A few weeks back we headed to the Indie Arts and Crafts festival as it set up camp in the museum district of Santa Ana. It is there we happened upon an apparel booth and met Ty and Ish who told us all about the Collaborative World movement. http://www.thecwmovement.com

Each season Collaborative World partners with four non-profit organizations at individual, local, national, and global levels. These organizations are committed to improving the lives of the people they serve.  Half of all the CW apparel sales goes to these organizations.

Such a great idea!

This season Collaborative World is partnering with  the following great non-profits:

Living the Dream Foundation http://www.livingthedreamfoundation.org/
Started in 2007 by Scottie Somers, the foundation works to help empower ill children and young adults to realize their potential no matter what their affliction.

Someone Cares Soup Kitchen and Tutoring Program http://www.someonecareskitchen.org/
Their mission is to feed a daily nutritional meal to the homeless, working poor, unemployed, physically and mentally challenged, senior citizens, and children of Orange County. they also offer a 3 hour after school tutoring program for at risk students.

My Broken Palace http://mybrokenpalace.com
The mission of My Broken Palace is that no one is to ever to bear the weight of loneliness, anxiety, stress, depression, abuse, addictions, or thoughts of suicide by themselves. Their motto, "No one lonely, alone."

Krochet Kids http://krochetkids.org/
"Buy a hat. Change a life" To empower people to rise above poverty. They currently work with women in Peru and Uganda. Style that promotes social change.

Awesome, right?!

The apparel from Collaborative World is not only comfy, but stylish! Below is a pic of my shirt that directly supports My Broken Palace. Shawn purchased one that directly supports Someone Cares Soup Kitchen and tutoring Program. It's so nice to know that a piece of clothing I am buying is actually helping someone instead of oppressing them further.

Please check out Collaborative World and their partners.

The more we join together to return dignity to each other, the easier our mission becomes.
