Banded2gether
Besides being super cute, Banded2gether headbands are comfortable, non-slip and support feeding programs such as Amazima’s and Food for the Poor. Each headband purchased from Banded2gether provides three meals for a child in need in Uganda, Latin American and the Caribbean. To date, over 6 million meals have been donated, and with Banded2gether’s variety of designs from floral to beaded to athletic, it’s about to become the new shopping addiction.
Hydros
In addition to food shortages, water is a problem as one in seven people lack access to clean water. However, with each purchase of a Hydros water bottle, one person will be provided with clean water for one year. The bottles are stylish (available in five colors) and functional (built-in filter, dishwasher safe, BPA free). They are also made right here in Pennsylvania, as well as New Jersey and Illinois.
Market Colors
Supporting African craftsman in Ethiopia, Kenya and Malawi, Market Colors Inc. sells 100 percent hand-made accessories including jewelry, purses and scarves. Each product comes with a card providing details about the craftsman who made it and how Market Colors has changed their lives.
Sevenly
From the environment to education to cancer, Sevenly changes their cause each week and donates $7 for each item purchased. They sell trendy clothing for men, women and children while also sparking conversations by spreading social awareness of serious issues.
