Just a Thought: Giving

We like to ask our #AlembikaWomen “What do you do when you don’t know what to do?”

This question came up for me many times in the past 2 months being far from my family in Israel and feeling useless and helpless. 

And once again, the answer and healing came from giving. I gave my time protesting, I donated money to organizations I felt would benefit right away. Alembika donated hundreds of pieces of clothing to those who lost their homes and I made sure to stay in touch with those who needed my attention. 

Giving to others gives an immediate relief. Reminding me that in order to rebuild, we need to think of the other, not me and myself. 

So this season will be no different. We will add the option to choose a charity at checkout when shopping with us and we will donate a percentage to that charity on behalf of you and us.

When you feel helpless, there is always a way to help.

How do you give?
