Witnessing the devastation along the East Coast first hand from our home in New York City has made the relief effort even more important to me. While in London for Motives I have been researching ways to help Hurricane Sandy victims and discovered that a number of retailers are donating proceeds to assorted charities and the America Red Cross. Check out the list below of brands offering shoppers the opportunity to help and tweet me @lorenridinger with any others I should add.
How to Shop and Support Hurricane Sandy Relief
- eBay has a landing page explaining how you can buy products with a yellow or blue ribbon to help nonprofits involved in the cause
- Designed by Jack Levine, 100% of the proceeds of Selfless Tee’s NYC-themed shirts are donated to relief efforts
- Stylebop.com is donating 10% of all proceeds to the American Red Cross
- You can make a donating to Hurricane Sandy recovery at Macy’s checkout, online and in stores
- Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic and Piperlime have banners on their website, making it easy to support the American Red Cross
Who else is going to shop to support Hurricane Sandy relief? Don’t forget that you can also still text 90999 to REDCROSS to donate $10.
