I want to comment on HKoren88’s Post #2 for Week 2. I also receive weekly update for old navy, banana republic, etc. and have received the give and get email for which if you are a member you will get 30% off and 5% off of the amount you spend and they will donate it to the non-profit of your choice. Since I buy so much during the Christmas season I want to try to donate a little to each and every one of these organizations on the list. HKoren said that they would donate to the nonprofit Care. I would probably most like to donate to Dress for Success, this nonprofit empowers disadvantaged women by provided work attire and giving them career tools. This was a great topic to post a blog on and when I read it I had to comment on it too.
This is the blog that HKoren88 said in their EL Week 2 #2 post:
In my last EL post I spoke about how the government works with non-profits. Today i will talk about businesses. I was checking my e-mail and received my weekly updates for Old navy, Banana Republic, and Gap to learn about sales. This weekend from November 13-16 they have an event called Give & Get. If you are a member you will get 30% off and 5% of the amount you spend to the non-profit of your choice. According to the e-mail, “During our August Give & Get event, we donated $1.3 million.”
The non-profit choices include: World Wildlife Fund, Boys and Girls Club of America, Dress for Success( empowers disadvantaged women by provided work attire and giving them career tools,The Global Fun( which fights AIDS), The Gap Foundation( helps women in developing countries build life and job skills), and care(a humanitarian organization that fights poverty). Care is the one that I plan to donate to.
