Making Money For Good


One company that stands out in this is Tide. In a relief situation like when the disaster hit New Orleans and surrounding areas some years back, Tide has made a huge covered trailer complete with power and washer machines and driers to clean the clothes of the victims of a disaster for free. I remember seeing on the news after the storm had passed that Tide truck in the background until the news finally reported that power had been restored. Another thing that Tide does is sell a shirt with the Tide logo on it for twenty dollars and the money raised selling those shirts goes to people that have been affected by a disaster. http://www.lhj.com/volunteering/companies-that-care-brands-that-give-back/. Kellogg Company also gives back to their community by sponsoring an organization called the World of Children and what they do is award an individual with one hundred thousand dollars that has helped children in the world. http://www.kelloggcompany.com/social.aspx?id=58. One more company that gives back to the community is Target which donates five percent of the their annual revenue to education and is on target so far with giving one billion dollars to education  by the year 2015.
