While We Were Feasting

While we were out stuffing our faces at the homes of our family and friends (and even hosting in our own festive abodes), the founder and director of The G.R.E.E.N. Foundation, Ernesta Wright, was out feeding and giving gifts to the homeless. She forewent the dinner invitations from two different family members and headed to Los Angeles to help some of those who are less fortunate.

"They were so grateful! One woman said, 'Thank you so much for doing this for us!'" Ernesta said yesterday.

The G.R.E.E.N. Foundation, is a non-profit organization that provides a number of services. The organization’s acronym stands for Gathering Resources to Educate and Empower through Networks. Among many of it’s services, the organization provides economic empowerment workshops to assist other non-profit organizations as well as provide health education forums and workshops to educate communities on breast health; anti-tobacco; HIV/AIDS and other preventative diseases.

A portion of the proceeds from La Poe Bags goes to support The G.R.E.E.N. Foundation. To find out more about The G.R.E.E.N. Foundation go to http://www.thegreenfoundation.net and to find out more about La Poe, go to www.lapoebags.info.
