Good Spread Peanut Butter was the first story to catch my attention. Good Spread Peanut Butter's aim is to prevent malnutrition in third world countries by providing therapeutic meals to suffering children. They use the profits from every packet of peanut butter sold to give away a packet of a therapeutic paste to a malnourished child. I found this story interesting because I already had some background knowledge about MANA Nutrition and I think it is a wonderful organization.
Half4thehungry does double the good, fighting both hunger as well as obesity. At participating restaurants, customers pay full price for a meal but receive only half the portion. The other half is donated to those in need. This is a great idea because it is an almost effortless way for people to help prevent two issues that are huge in America.
A 2nd Cup is a nonprofit coffee shop that works to fight human trafficking. The proceeds from coffee sales will be used to fund after-care solutions for human trafficking victims including, housing mentoring, and life skills for reintegration into society. This idea really sparked my interest because I find human trafficking horrifying and believe that no one deserves to be devalued in that way. Human trafficking is a serious issue and victims deserve some sort of support.
If I didn't have to worry about money I would want to provide medical care to those in need. I strongly believe that no one deserves to be in pain when they don't have to be. My goal for the future has always been to create a positive impact in the lives of others, and I would gladly do that with or without money.
