Easy Ways to Support

With so much happening in the world, it’s hard to know where to focus your efforts to make a difference. A small way to help? Purchase products that align with the organizations you care about. So many brands are stepping up to create partnerships that give back to causes, whether it be our front-line workers battling COVID-19, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ+ organizations and many other important missions. Here are 15 products we love that also give back.

Weather the Storm Necklace

When the pandemic started, jewelry designer Peggy Li knew she wanted to find a way to give back. She designed the Weather the Storm necklace, a lightning bolt that slips through a handmade hammered cloud. You can wear the sign of hope proudly on your neck and know that 25 percent of the purchase goes to support World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit founded by chef Jose Andres which is currently providing meals to families in need during COVID-19.

As a brand they also donate 5 percent of all online sales to ocean conservancy.
