We are thrilled to announce that we have aligned with a truly exciting charitable effort for the month of April, and we would like for you all to join us in help raise awareness of and funds for an incredibly worthy cause. The 12for12k Challenge is a combination of social media and fundraising that aims to change the lives of millions worldwide. The concept is simple: for every month in 2009 one charity is chosen; 1,200 people join the 12for 12k cause and donate $10 each month, raising $12,000 per charity and $144,000 by December 31, 2009. This month 12for12K has partnered with MomItForward, an online network that aims to strengthen women by helping them become the best moms they can be while making it fun and sociable to give back. The organizations will be raising money for Yehu Microfinance, BasaBody and Coast Coconut Farms. Funds raised for the program will be used to help combat poverty in rural Kenya through self-sustainability and micro-business education for women entrepreneurs.
Honest Foods will be donating 100 percent of profits from purchases to its online store marked for “12for12K” to this noble effort. If you want to help, make sure to add “12for12K” to the comments section of your order and we will donate all profits to 12for12k and MomitForward. Let’s work together to make sure everyone around the globe has yummy foods to eat.
