History

Back in 1989, our founder, Jossy Eyre, was volunteering at a daytime women's shelter in Denver, CO. She realized that while the shelter kept the women safe, it could not help them make lasting changes in their lives. To help the women achieve independence and self-sufficiency, she needed to provide an opportunity to experience the dignity of work by learning how to get - and keep - a job. She invested $500 of her own money and put two women to work; the start of the social enterprise we are today. Now our revenue is more than $2M per year and our products are sold in nearly 1,000 stores nationwide, including King Soopers, Whole Foods, Safeway, and Meijer, as well as small specialty retailers. You can also shop our products online on our website, Amazon.com and Walmart.com.

I'm up for a good cause any day, but they need to do a better job with the quality of the product going out if their marketing strategy for raising funds is to provide a product incentive. I...
