Good Earth Gingerbread families feed local Food Banks
It’s never been sweeter to give back! At Good Earth Coffeehouse, one family can help another. Looking for that perfect Holiday gift? Look no further than your local Good Earth Coffeehouse, with a gift that keeps on giving.
Good Earth Coffeehouses’ (Good Earth) highly anticipated Gingerbread Family cookies are back. For every package of Gingerbread Family cookies sold, Good Earth will donate $1 to local food banks. “Our Gingerbread Family program transforms a traditional holiday treat into a sweet way to help others,” said Nan Eskenazi, Good Earth co-founder. We have always been passionate about helping the communities we serve, through our do-good feel-good initiatives. At Good Earth, the ‘why’ is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in making choices that have a positive
impact that can do good and offering choices that feel good.”
According to Food Banks Canada, Canadians made 1.1 million visits to
food banks per month last year. This means that every single day of the week, individuals in this country are struggling to provide meals to nourish their families. Last year Good Earth raised $10,877 for local Food Banks with their Families Feed Families campaign. Good Earth is to raise over $11,000 to support families in need through local food banks this year, with the goal to relieve hunger today and prevent hunger tomorrow. For every dollar raised, local food banks can
provide three meals.
From November 12 to December 31, Good Earth Gingerbread Family
cookies can be purchased in all Good Earth locations across Canada. You
can also share the love on social media! Canadians can double their donation by sharing a photo of their purchased Gingerbread Family cookies with the hashtag #FamiliesFeedFamilies on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Good Earth will donate $1 for every social media post up to $2,500.
“We love that our guests engage with us to support our local foodbanks at
this time every year. Our Gingerbread Family cookies campaign has become a very important initiative that supports our communities in need,” said Michael Going, Good Earth co-founder and CEO. “Supporting our communities, especially during the Holiday season, is something that is very meaningful for our customers and our entire Good Earth team.”
