Safeway To End Hunger

Did you know that about about 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life? That's about one in nine people on earth! This information and much more can be found on World Food Programme. After learning this, I new I wanted to find a way to help feed those who are less fortunate then I am as well as share the information with others. This is when The Albertsons Safeway campaign comes in.

In an effort to help aid in the relief of childhood hunger in America, Albertsons Safeway stores have launched a national Hunger Is campaign that is running through September 30th. It is a scary fact that one in five children in America lives in a home without consistent access to adequate food. With your help we can help give these children the nutrition that they need on a daily basis.

There are a couple of ways we can help:

Purchase items from participating brands – The brands include

Con Agra - Marie Calender's, Healthy Choice, Bertolli's and PF Changs brands

Coke

Unilever

Kellogg's

Campbell's

Just by purchasing an item from one of these participating brands you can help generate donations to Hunger in your neighborhood. I found some items that are sure to be in your grocery list.

You can also find even more variety from the O Organics Line.

Donate at the register – Select Albertsons and Safeway stores have donation tabs on the key pin pad at the register where you can make a donation.

The participating stores include Albertsons, Safeway, Vons Pavilions, Jewel-Osco, Randalls, United Supermakets, Tom Thumb, Acme, Star Market, Shaws, Carrs, Market Stee, and Amigos. To find your nearest store to participate click here.

Lets work together to help stop hunger!

Buy The Change: Shopping To Make A Difference

Do you love shopping? Have you ever shopped at a store that donates a portion of their sales to those in need? If not, do you want to shop at such a store? I have recently discovered a socially conscience brand named Buy The Change. Their products include bags, jewelry, soaps, home decor, and throws which are handmade by various female artisans around the world.

These organic cotton envelope style iPad cases make the perfect summer clutch! They are hand crafted by women refugees in Thailand.

The "Lily" necklace is handcrafted by women in Asia who are working to create new lives outside of the sex trade industry.

Necklace created from recycled material. Both jewelry will help provide funds for Haiti. 

As a registered Benefit Corporation, Buy The Change is changing lives with with every online purchase by donating money to their very own Buy The Change Foundation. Click here to learn more about their foundation.  

In 2014 the Foundation helped many artisans in need by providing life changing services such as water filters in Guatemala and a gate for a feeding center in Haiti. 

Many of the artisan women that provide the beautiful handmade products live in  hazardous situations such as prisons, city slums, or shelters. 

A prison in the red light district of Kolkata. Over 60K women, many of which are still girls, are living there. Many were trafficked into the sex trade, others were born into it. Buy The Change helps give these girls a better life with more options.

Amazingly these women have hope and that hope has ignited their ambition to change their lives and the world for the better. Everyone that purchases a product helps in their pursuit of change! Check out the brand by clicking here. 

This girl had to quit going to school after her father died in 2013. Her mother now has a job through Buy The Change creating Kantha blankets. The ongoing income will pay for everything the family needs, including tuition.
