How can you help people and still get something wonderful in return? Many people donate to non-profit organizations or even volunteering time in efforts to give back to the community. Not only can you give back to people around the world but you can also get something beautiful and remind others to give back as well. I
LOVE supporting jewelry that helps give back, clothing items that donate some of its proceeds to help certain causes, and purchasing daily items that contribute to finding cures. I want to make it easier for you to find these charities and hopefully inspire you to do some contributions of your own!
"If you can't feed a hundred people, than just feed one."--Mother Theresa
