In January I bought some snowflake ornaments from Crate & Barrel. They were cute; they fit fit the color scheme of my tree; they were on sale. (I love Crate & Barrel, I just haven’t had the money to spend there for awhile.)
I didn’t know that Crate & Barrel was a partner with DonorsChoose.org. Today I got an e-mail from Crate & Barrel, offering to give $25 to the school of my choice through DonorsChoose.org. And there wasn’t a trick to it — I picked a school and project that could use some extra money, redeemed the Crate & Barrel offer and added to it.
With or without an offer from Crate & Barrel, if you have a few dollars to spare, head over to DonorsChoose.org and help a needy classroom.
How cool. Good to see companies doing some good in the world.
