"We're excited to offer a unique Mother's Day program that not only allows family members to honor their mothers with the gift of gourmet coffee, chocolate and tea but also provides critical help to other mothers around the world through the work of CARE," says Mark Priddy, co-founder of Full Circle Exchange.
Full Circle Exchange chocolates are made with cocoa from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms, which protect the environment and the well-being of farmers. All coffee beans are ethically sourced and either certified organic or grown using sustainable natural and organic farming methods. "There's a lot of care involved in the creation of our products and we believe you'll taste the difference," says Priddy.
Each Mother's Day gift will include a brochure that tells the stories of Full Circle Exchange, CARE and a mother who is serving as a critical agent of change in one of the world's poorest communities. Customers also may choose to include a complimentary Mother's Day tribute. Each custom message will be printed on a beautiful card and inserted into the gift.
The Mother's Day program is an extension of Full Circle Exchange's "Wake Up To Justice – Dollar 4 Dollar" campaign. Designed to support CARE's global poverty-fighting programs that help girls and women, Full Circle Exchange and its philanthropic partners are committed to donating the full purchase price of all CARE co-branded chocolate and coffee — up to $1 million — through Dec. 31, 2011.
"This Mother's Day gift promotion provides a meaningful connection between mothers here and those mothers who are helping lift entire families and communities out of poverty around the globe," says Dr. Helene Gayle, president and CEO of CARE. "The donation made to CARE will help us provide education, health services and business opportunities to these inspiring women."
