some are big, some are small, but they're still problems.
how great is it that in the midst of our own struggles we can still help others who are struggling through theirs?
a few humanitarian projects are up and coming in salt lake and i am grateful to be able to help to participate in support of them.

One World Everybody Eats asks guests to pay what they feel the meal warranted. This requires guests use their fairest judgement. Although the kitchen is a non-profit establishment, it still must meet regular business expenses.
The motto of owner Denise Cerreta is "a hand up, not a hand out," meaning, anyone can eat. If a guest finds they don't have enough money to pay for their meal, they can volunteer to wash dishes, clean or work in the garden. The kitchen also serves complimentary "Dal and Rice", an traditional meal from the Indian subcontinent, absolutely free to all guests. Along with our bread, dal and rice provides a healthy, high-protein meal that truly lets everybody eat.

ONEiTY is out to save the world, one onesie at a time. With each and every purchase you make, ONEiTY sees to it that some of your money is replanted in communities where the clothing was manufactured. It has delivered things like vitamins and computers to third-world countries, has installed water wells and has employed non-working mothers in Madagascar. It also contributes to local non-profits in our backyard like the Utah Food Bank, YWCA women’s shelter and the Salvation Army.
how cool is that?!
