Giving Back
Spread joy to those that need it the most
#savethebees
The bee was our very first icon in the Joanna Buchanan collection and I am so happy that we are able to donate a part of our profits of the Stripey Bee Collection to a conservation trust that created and manages a Pollinator Pathway in our area.
MOMS HELPING MOMS
We are thrilled to support a wonderful charity based in New Jersey calledMoms Helping Moms Foundation which provides underserved families with access to the essentials they need to provide their children with a safe and healthy start. MHM distributes critical essentials to 100,000+ individuals per year, including 600,000+ diapers! They have several programs to help new mums.
THE Child + Family Guidance Center
Founded 90+ years ago, the center provides children and families with culturally-informed mental health care and complementary supports, regardless of ability to pay.
We were so pleased to be able to help in their mission to create stable and nurturing environments for children through family support, counseling, and critical youth in crisis intervention.
WIN | Women in need
We loved partnering with WIN in their mission is to transform the lives of homeless women and their children by providing the safe housing, critical services, and programs they need — like job training, life skills, childcare and summer camp — so the women can regain their independence and their children can look forward to a brighter future. And ultimately, break the cycle of homelessness.
HALL NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE
Founded in 1866 by a group of community-minded women in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Hall Neighborhood House has expanded their services over the years to provide support for all families from early-childhood care to youth educational support to senior services to a community health center.
GRACE INSTITUTE
One of only a few workforce development programs in NYC focused solely on women, Grace Institute’s employer-driven workforce training programs help women develop the professional skills employers have identified as being needed by today’s administrative and customer service professionals. We were so happy to be able to support this great organization through a monetary donation and mentorship!
KINGS PANTRY BRIDGEPORT
Food insecurity was such a huge problem before the pandemic and has skyrocketed. Families who are struggling to provide adequate food for their children as a result of schools being closed are some of those hardest hit. To do our small part to help, we supported Kings Pantry in Bridgeport , CT for the holiday season.
spread even more joy
In addition to our bi-annual months of giving and continued support of the bees, we participate in charity events large and small year round. From tablescpaing for large scale charity events, to product donations for give-aways and auction prizes, to up-coming product collaborations with proceeds going straight to charities — we firmly believe in spreading sparkle and joy whenever and however we can!
