In today's world, where social responsibility and community support are more important than ever, we are thrilled to share a key moment in our journey. We believe in more than just selling products; we believe in the power of giving back. A portion of our proceeds are going to be dedicated to charities focused on helping country people at risk of struggling with mental health issues. Recently, we made a $500 donation to a remarkable organization called Farm Angels, which provides vital support to rural communities impacted by natural disasters.
A Vision for Change
The vision behind this initiative is straightforward: to create a positive ripple effect in the world. Every time you make a purchase, you are not just getting a wicked shirt or sick hat; you are contributing to a cause that truly matters. It is heartwarming to know that together, we can help those struggling, especially after devastating natural disasters. Farm Angels (formally known as Drought Angels) has been instrumental in helping families rebuild their lives following the floods that recently devastated agricultural areas in QLD and NSW. Just some of the charity statistics from previous years are shown below for their incredible work.
Why We Chose Farm Angels
When the concept of Bit Going On was first being spoken about, and we were excitedly telling close friends and family the intention and dream behind it all, one of our good mates suggested that we support Farm Angels as one of first charity donations. Their mission aligns perfectly with our values as they provide immediate aid to those affected by environmental disasters, ensuring that people get the support they need to rebuild. Their work goes beyond mere donations; they encourage a sense of community and uplift those in despair. This resonates deeply with our wish to create a support system for people in the country who might not have it, to be brave enough to ask for help when they need it and generally motivates us to keep pushing forward with our own mission.
Excerpt from the Farm Angels Website:
