Filed under: Charity, Green, Charity of the Day

Wecansolveit.org (WE) is an environmental organization that was founded by former Vice President Al Gore. WE's ultimate goal is to halt global warming. Their work includes changing government policies and urging corporations to use clean energy solutions as well as educating people in the US and around the world that the climate crisis is both urgent and solvable. WE teaches that clean energy solutions will not only save the environment but also help rebuild the economy. I always picture the polar bear as a sort of mascot for global warming, and recent efforts from WE have the polar bear joining the list of endangered species, an action that will help guarantee that protective measures are taken on it's behalf. Learn more about this important organization, the climate crisis deserves all of our immediate attention and joining or supporting WE is one of the most effective ways to add your voice to the cause.

There's no better time than now, in the middle of a war, to help out our nation's veterans and show them how much we love, support, and most importantly respect the tremendous commitment and sacrifice they've made (and are making) for our country. There are countless charities that support the cause but one that helps unite them all together is the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. The NCHV acts as a resource for a national network of organizations and service providers that provide support, housing, job training, and placement assistance for hundreds thousands of homeless veterans every year.

Jumpy Monkey Premium Coffee, Charity of the Day

Coffee for a cause! Jumpy Monkey premium coffee is carefully drum roasted in small batches at a place called Opportunities Unlimited in Sioux City, IA. The coffee not only tastes great and is available in 33 delectable flavors (I would know, I've tried at least half of them so far!) but every bean you buy goes to support the rehabilitation of individuals that have sustained a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or other disability through both the coffee's profits and by providing employment opportunities for individuals undergoing rehab. For me it's a great chance to support a charity through a daily habit I have anyway (plus it's wonderful to have the coffee come right to the door), and if you're intimidated by their long list of flavors let me recommend my two favorites: Snickerdoodle and Creme Brulee. Yum!

All people have the right to develop to their fullest potential, and The Chimes Foundation is an organization that functions on that principle by providing support and training to those facing special obstacles like disability or illness. Centered around promoting individualism, self-worth, and dignity, Chimes was originally founded way back in 1947 in Maryland when a group of parents realized that educational and training opportunities were lacking for their children with mental retardation. Today the organization has expanded to international status and serves almost 10,000 people facing a variety of challenges.

Started in April of 2005 and located in Louisiana, Chimp Haven also serves as the The National Chimpanzee Sanctuary and is looking to branch out into additional smaller sanctuaries in the future.

The Candies Foundation, Charity of the Day

Filed under: Apparel, Charity, Charity of the Day

The Candies Foundation is devoted to helping educate today's youth about the "devastating" effects of teen pregnancy. I find the word devastating a bit dramatic (that's the word they use), however what is shocking is the staggering amount of teens that get pregnant each year. According to The Candies Foundation, 750,000 teens will get pregnant in the US this year, which equals three out of every ten! The Candies Foundation does fabulous work publicizing their message and teaching preventative care for both parents and teens via their educational website and outreach programs. My favorite part is the t-shirts. Cute and stylish they sell for $15, with 100 percent of proceeds going directly to educational programs.
