We like it when companies we know support causes we care about. Not only do our favorite non-profits benefit, but it makes us feel good about supporting these stores for their charitable efforts. Recently Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy held a shopping event to support CARE, where 5% of their proceeds went to the organization on 4 days in November (with a 30% off to the customer). While giving back 5% of total purchases to CARE, past Give & Get promotions have generated more than $600,000 for CARE’s work around the world.

CARE (www.care.org) is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. Recognizing that women and girls suffer disproportionately from poverty, CARE places special emphasis on empowering them to create permanent social change. Women are at the heart of CARE’s community-based efforts to improve basic education, expand economic opportunity, increase access to health services and protect natural resources in over sixty countries around the world.  Go to their site now to see how they are raising $2.5 million by Dec. 31 to help women and girls bring themselves, their families, and their communities out of poverty, for good!
