Shopping. When was the last time you really felt good about it? Sure, you get the products you need and want, but does your purchase lead to any greater good for the world? Seems like more and more people are asking this type of question before they shop. I know I am. I feel better when I have a meaningful connection with the people I buy from and when I know that something good is coming from my purchase.
Modern Kids Design
Enter Modern Kids Design. Modern Kids Design is an online store offering beautifully designed natural and earth-friendly products for infants, children and families. Its mission is to raise awareness of environmental issues through design, and to be a resource for families interested in environmental issues.
The company carries a range of products from baby gear, furniture and toys to apparel and personal care products. It’s an assortment that’s modern in design yet classic in function, and everything is beautifully crafted, safe and environmentally sustainable.
Shop for a Cause
Company founder, Yvonne Hopkins knew from the start that she wanted to do more than simply sell environmentally friendly products. She wanted to create a direct link to helping environmental causes and initiatives. She designed the “Shop for a Cause” program to allow customers to make a donation with every purchase.
“Our customers are very environmentally aware and have a deep-seeded desire to support like-minded organizations.” “’Shop for a Cause”…lets them engage in the cycle of giving in a personal and meaningful way.” – Yvonne Hopkins, owner Modern Kids Design
Here’s how the program works:
- Choose an organization from the list of non profits by clicking on the desired logo.
- Click the “Select” button next to the logo (also select “Add to Cart” so that you’ll see your selection throughout the shopping process).
- At checkout, 5% of your purchase will go to the cause you’d like to support.
Yep, it’s that easy!
Twitter Party
Mark your calendars for Thursday, September 4th at 8pm EDT. We’re having a Twitter party to celebrate the launch of the “Shop for a Cause” program. I will be helping to moderate and many of the non profit partners supported by “Shop for a Cause” will be there too. The hashtag will be #shopforacause and we’ll be talking about easy ways to live greener and healthier lives with your family.
We’ll have some great prizes to give away – so RSVP now and get it on your calendar! Plus there will be special early bird giveaways for June, July and August. Just click here to learn more and enter to win!
