As an independently-owned business, we have the freedom to support causes we believe in and to impact the world in a positive way. Giving back is important to us and we want to share that passion with you, our customers. Through our Better to Give program, we've been able to build a better business by connecting our customers with non-profit organizations around the globe. With every purchase you make, we're proud to donate $1 to a Better to Give partner of your choice.

Since we started the Better to Give program in 2001, we've donated over $2,000,000. Thanks for helping us pay it forward and do our part to improve the planet and support the people who live on it. Let's keep up the good work!
