The Greatest Gift

On Black Friday of 2010, we began a new program in our store called the Greatest Gift. During the holiday shopping season (the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve) we will donate a portion of our sales to Heifer International.  Heifer International is a non-profit organization that provides livestock and training to families to help end the cycle of hunger and poverty.

For every $50 dollar purchase we will give $1, for $100 we will give $2 and so on. We also collected additional donations from our customers.

Here's what we provided for farm families around the world:

  • 1 Llama $150
  • Flock of Ducks $20
  • Tree Seedings $60
  • Bee Hive $30
  • Flock of Chicks $20
  • Flock of Hope (chicks, ducks, & geese) $60
  • 1 Goat $120
  • 1 Pig $120
  • Trio of Rabbits $60
  • Flock of Geese $20
  • Basket of Hope (chickens & rabbits) $50
  • Earth Basket (bees & trees) $60
  • Gardeners' Basket (trees, bees, rabbits, chickens) $170

2010 Total Donation: $940

BYOB Token Program

as in "Bring your own Bag"

Our BYOB token policy is simple, whenever you bring your own grocery bag or just don't use one, we give you a token worth 10 cents that you get to donate to the charity of your choice.

Sounds trivial, right? You'd be surprised. Here are the results from the last few years:

2007: $168.44 (from opening on August 13)

2008: $837.85

2009: $1,617.55

2010: $1,906.60

We have saved over 45,000 bags since opening!!

Wow, little actions do make a difference!

Each year in late August, we select new charities by holding on online vote. If your non-profit organization would like to be considered, please visit our "Contact Us" page and let us know. 

 

Since opening in August of 2007, we have donated a portion of our sales each month back to the community.
Thank you for supporting us, so we can support you!
