Around the holidays, most of us sit back and reflect on all we have to be thankful for. This year, in particular, we may be extra thankful for our health and still making it through these uncertain COVID times. So, what better way to give thanks than to give back?
One of the best things you can do is shop at stores that donate to charities. You'll take care of your holiday checklist and help the less fortunate all at once!
We've made this gesture even simpler for you by compiling a list of these stores below:
Olivela - 6.06% Cash Back
Being that Olivela has 430+ of the world’s top luxury fashion and beauty brands, it’s truly an amazing deed that it donates 20% of proceeds from every single purchase to support many different causes near and dear to our hearts.
These efforts originally started with girls’ education, and has grown since then to include helping those most at risk around the globe. You can choose whichever charity means the most to you. The choices include, but are not limited to:
- “Save The Children” - This charity is dedicated to assisting the most vulnerable children throughout America through early education and meal distribution programs. Since millions of children have been home for a whole year due to the pandemic, the need for assistance has never been more crucial.
- “The Buddy Program” - This program is committed to mentoring the youth through experiences and preparing them for their future in a healthy, confident way so they may achieve their full potential.
- “CARE” - The name says it all. CARE works to save lives, combat poverty and fight for social justice, especially for women of all ages who deserve equal opportunities to progress in their personal and professional lives.
- “Global Green” - This charity helps create a shift in the way we live in order to ensure we have a sustainable future and healthy community, and ultimately a healthy planet.
- “Face Forward” - This charity provides surgical care and emotional counseling/therapy to survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking and any other heinous acts across the world.
Pura Vida Bracelets - 2.02% Cash Back
As some may already know, Pura Vida means “pure life” in Spanish, which is what this company embodies and truly lives by. Its bracelets are vibrant and unique with many different color combinations. Not only are these bracelets beautiful and individualized, they also make it possible for artisans in Costa Rica to have full-time jobs, as well as show appreciation for...
- Environmental Causes - Shop styles that are trendy and also save the planet.
- Humanitarian Causes - Give back to the community and look good while doing it.
- Cancer Awareness - Shop styles that support everyone fighting a current or past battle with cancer.
- Animal Awareness - Explore bracelets and stickers that give back to causes supporting animal health, safety and well-being.
- Mental Health Awareness - Shop all styles that support all aspects of mental health.
- Health Awareness - Rock many different styles that support causes close to your heart.
TOMS - 3.03% Cash Back
It’s no secret that the comfort of TOMS shoes is top tier, but what’s even better is the story behind them. Back in 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie came across children in Argentina who had no shoes to protect their feet. With this immense calling to help these kids, he created TOMS, a company that matches every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. To date, they have now donated over 1 million pairs of shoes!
DIFF Eyewear - up to 4.04% Cash Back
If you’re looking for chic sunglasses in every style, shape and color, DIFF Eyewear is your go-to spot. (It even has a Star Wars-inspired collection!) This merchant's charity initiative is simple: for every pair of sunglasses sold, it donates a pair of reading glasses.
It formed a partnership with Sherry Grigsby, founder of “Eyes on Africa,” with the sole intention of providing eyeglasses to people in need. Feel confident about your purchase knowing that you'll be rocking your sunglasses in style, and helping someone else see the beautiful world as you do!
Tatcha - 10.1% Cash Back
We know the saying is “beauty is pain,” but for some, “beauty comes with a price” is more fitting. Although some of Tatcha's products may be a tad pricey, they are so worth it because of their carefully curated ingredients that lead to incredible results. The Tatcha mission is to share with the new, younger generation the inspired approach to a more beautiful life. That starts with feeling good on the surface, your skin.
Each ritual or skincare kit is tailored to reveal a gorgeous complexion for every age, ethnicity and skin type. The main difference between Tatcha products and many Western routines is that they don’t contain any harsh, skin-stripping formulas that are known to leave everlasting damage. Tatcha aims to cleanse and rejuvenate the skin, all while nourishing and protecting it.
Not only does this company believe that your skin is important, it also helps girls with their education. It created the charity “Beautiful Faces, Beautiful Futures” to help girls stay in school through the Girl’s Education Program in Asia and Africa. And this year, Tatcha began bringing diverse books to some unfortunate communities in the United States through the “Room To Read” literacy program.
