Each year, we love to spread the holiday spirit by giving gifts to a number of corporate connections. Instead of simply cheering up everyone on our list, our holiday gifts make a difference in the lives of local children. Over the past few years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with That’s Caring, a Chicago-based gift company that not only creates custom holiday gifts for us, but they also share a portion of the proceeds with the Northern Illinois Food Bank’s BackPack Program.
If you recognize their name, you might have seen them on Huffington Post, Inc.com and You & Me This Morning —or been given one of their gifts! In addition to offering creative, high-quality holiday gifts suited to everyone on your list, That’s Caring gifts give back to children in our community and across the country.
Gifts That Give Happiness, Help Hunger
For children living in food-insecure households, the daily meal provided by the National School Lunch Program is often the only one they’ll have. Once the school week ends and kids go home for the weekend, these children are unsure when they’ll get their next meal and what it will be.
A weekend bag is packed with nutritious, nonperishable meal supplies and snacks. Each bag ensures that hungry children have the fuel and energy they need to stay healthy, succeed in school and have the active, enriching childhood they deserve.
Why We’re Sharing their Mission
We truly appreciate and enjoy being active members of our community and feel that we should give back and help whenever we can. As members of the food service industry, we understand how complicated it can be to effectively provide nutritious meals to those in need. That’s Caring gifts combine bring these two ideas together in a way that benefits more than one person.
Their cause is not the only reason we work with That’s Caring; they also provide exceptional, delicious gifts that feature socially-responsible products and are customized for our brand and customers. You can see their full case study on our holiday gifts and the impact they’ve had on our community here, or you can see their products and read about their mission to Give Happiness and Help Hunger. Each year, it is a pleasure to work with That’s Caring to make an impact in the lives of our partners, friends and coworkers as well as in the lives of children from our community.
