Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good



There are many new companies that are starting to have a "Buy one, Give one" policy. Blanket America collection said “When consumers buy from Blanket America, not only are they generating automatic donations, but supporting our larger commitment to ending extreme poverty. For every Blanket America product sold, we make a donation.” http://www.blanketamerica.com/ which is very nice. Not only are you getting a blanket for yourself; you are helping to donate a blanket to someone that may really need it. So they can stay warm and maybe even sleep better at night. Doesn't that sound nice? Blanket America Collection also gives help with other areas. Such as, “In addition to domestic giving, Blanket America has provided disaster relief to Haiti with blanket donations, and created jobs with your demand for our Choose Haiti line of products.” http://www.blanketamerica.com/ being able to help provide jobs is a big deal. Especially after a huge disaster everyone is out of work. By them helping to provide jobs people will be able to get back on their feet again! Maybe they can even help others that need help just like them. “They believe that although charity begins at home, it doesn’t end there. Help make a difference for someone in need by purchasing your linens and other supplies through Blanket America’s one for one program.” http://shopwithmeaning.org/2011/12/blanket-america-one-for-one-blankets-that-warm-your-heart-and-your-neighbor/ So splurging and getting you own things that you want and need you will be able to help many people. I personally think that is very nice. If I were in a situation where I didn’t have certain things I would be very thankful for programs like this. The best part about Blanket America Collection is that you can buy anything and they will provide it someone that needs it. Which means you don’t just have to buy a blanket to help someone out, you can buy anything from them and still help out!
