Shop for a Good Cause

by Kate on April 4th, 2009 | 6 Comments » | In Uncategorized

If you read this blog, you know I’m addicted to Etsy. Just love it. While preparing and searching for participants for the Support Military Moms event I came across the Etsy Homefront Team: a group of military spouses who sell on Etsy. There are some seriously great shops involved in this Etsy team (and you’ll learn more about many of them in May)!

The Homefront Team has a charity event on Etsy going on now through July 1 – all proceeds from participating sales go to The Fisher House. Here’s how to shop for a good cause: go to Etsy. search “Homefront Charity” and all the results should be participating listings. Buy a handmade good that suits your fancy and the proceeds go to a great charity that supports military families. A win-win situation as far as I’m concerned.

It just so happens The Fisher House is one of three charities set to benefit from Support Military Moms on The Shopping Mama in May. You’ll hear more about it, The National Military Family Association and Snowball Express closer to the kick-off May 16. If you know you’re going to be here, you can let all your friends know with an RSVP on Facebook.

    Love the Fisher House and LOVE Snowball Express. One of my best friend’s children benefit from Snowball Express – they do an amazing job of taking care of all the kiddos who have lost a parent…..Thank you for the great blog post.
