Making a Difference in a Creative Way

Posted on February 16, 2017 by russtowne

I love to read about efforts that combine the resources of non-profits with profitable companies for the good of society. The article linked below appears to me to fall into that category. Way to go, Amazon and FareStart! I see this as a potential big win for everyone involved.

If only more established companies would spread the love and resources to other ventures like FareStart. I love anything where people are helping others get a fair chance in life. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It is a bright spot in our crazy world right now.
