What if you go to the Mall to buy some gifts and you see two stores you like next to each other. The store on the right has a big sign that says “For every item your purchase, we will feed one child in need for one month.” The store on the left has a big sign as well, but it says “All the profit goes to our pocket and only our pocket.” Which store would you go to? I believe the average person would say they would go to the store on the right. If you think about it, we are faced with that same decision every time we go shopping either for ourselves or others. It is up to us to decide where our money is spent. So, why not make that decision now and start shopping with companies that will benefit others besides themselves?
