OUR CAUSES

40 million people face hunger in the U.S. today, including more than 12 million children and five million seniors. The Feeding America network is the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, working to connect people with food and end hunger. They work with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, food service companies and farmers to gather food before it goes to waste, and also advocate on behalf of Americans struggling with hunger to help break the poverty cycle.

During the 2018 Winter Holiday season, we donated over 3,300 meals to Feeding America through our holiday ornament and gift set sales.

Healthy forests have an important role to play in addressing climate change, as well as providing clean water and air, habitat for a variety of species and beautiful scenery for all to enjoy. CAL FIRE foresters promote improved planning and management and tree planting and maintenance throughout California. With the devastating forest fires impacting California in 2017, we planted one tree for every biodegradable LOVE ornament we shipped during the holidays to help offset this loss. With your support, 70 trees were planted.

In 2019, we planted 330 trees through our Holiday ornament and gift set sales.
