“Clear the Shelves for a Good Deed”
The biggest changes can come through the smallest efforts. Perhaps you’ve wanted to make a difference for our world, give to a non-profit organization, or create a movement but you're not sure how to go about it, especially in these challenging economic times.
Now you can make a difference simply through your next trip to the grocery store. Now through October 18, Cabot Creamery is donating 5% of sales of 8 oz. Cabot cheese bars (whether or not those packages carry the Good Deed logo) sold in NY, NJ and CT to Good Deed Foundation to help provide lasting solutions for women and families living in poverty in our local communities. The goal is to sell 240,000 bars of Cabot cheese, thereby helping to reduce the growing number of women and families in poverty.
Help spread the word by telling your friends and posting the event on your blog!
Why is this important? Nonprofits may be forced to curtail many of their programs due to the tumultuous economic environment. If this two-week trial with Cabot is successful, many other businesses and retail outlets are expected to collaborate with Good Deed Foundation -- resulting in a new revenue stream to help offset tighter budgets. With your help, women and families can be provided with resources and skills to improve their lives.
We can’t do this alone! That’s why we’re reaching out to you. Please follow the hyperlinks for tools that will help you spread this important campaign.
The power is in your hands to make a difference. Thank you for your Good Deed!
