Since 1946 Target stores have been giving back to the community. They contribute 5% of annual income to support families and communities. Today that is more than $3 million EACH WEEK to the communities in which they do business.

Walmart’s tagline is “operating globally and giving back locally”. They provide financial and volunteer support to more than 100,000 charitable and community-focused organizations.

That is awesome! Giving back to the community is good for individuals and good for businesses that support it. It gives the individual a feeling of accomplishment, of satisfaction, of belonging. It gives the business a good reputation. It let’s the customers know they care. It makes everyone feel good. Most businesses aren’t as big as Target or Walmart, but their giving back attitude counts just as much. And it does just as much good for the individuals involved.

At MamaBearsPlace we help people donate brand-new huggable GUND teddy bears to children in the hospital. In addition MamaBearsPlace donates 5% of the purchase price to the hospital; plus ships the bears to the hospital for no charge. Since MamaBearsPlace is home-based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the beneficiary of the “giving back” is the University of New Mexico Children’s Hospital. However, a customer may choose to donate the teddy bears to a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in their own state.

See how easy it is to feel good, when you “give back” through MamaBearsPlace.
