"The Spirit of Giving" Feed 100 Children for $10...and Save the Earth Too!
The holidays are coming and most of us tend to wrap gifts with lots of pretty paper and ribbons. Unfortunately, much of this gets thrown away. (Unless you have a two year old who would rather play with the packaging than whatever gift you bought...)
Whole Food is selling 100% organic cotton and natural
burlap bags. Made as eco-friendly and fairly as possible in audited and
certified facilities. You can buy the bags on-line for $25, or I have found them at the Whole Foods Market at Orchard Lake Rd. and 14 Mile for just $10.
For just $10 you can join Whole Foods Market in providing 100 meals to
kids via the World Food Program’s Rwanda School Feeding operation. They
pre-paid that $10 per bag to feed the kids and have also donated the
costs to produce these high-quality totes. Hard to believe we can feed that many kids for the same price we pay to go out for coffee.
Anyway, I bought these totes to put my holiday presents in. So the bags themselves become gifts to my family, gifts to hungry kids, and a gift to our earth. The bags themselves are awesome. They fold into a zippered pouch. They have pockets inside and a sturdy handle.
I pick up one more every time I shop just to "give to the cause". I hope it is a cause you can give to as well.
Be Well,
Rev. Sherry
