Share Good Foods - do good things
At share good foods we believe we can do more together than we ever could on our own! That is why we are always working to do good in every way we can. This striving has resulted in a number of Do Good Things Initiatives:
Do Gooder of the Month - Highlighting someone doing good in the community via our Website, Social media and newsletter.
Do Good Partnerships - We work with a number of non-profits highlighted below
Do Good Things Outlets - Social Enterprise outlets that are doing good while selling our food. Highlighted below.
Do Good Things Quarterly Dinners - Dinner gathering of Do Gooders to collaborate and network. We can do more together than we could on our own.
Do Gooder of the month - The Desserted Co
“What we do: We are a dessert box delivery company on a mission to level up gift giving! Order a dessert box online for holidays (Valentines, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Christmas, etc), birthdays, anniversaries, break-ups, binges, thank you’s, client gifts, just because; whatever you might need to send a gift for! We deliver next day local in Denver metro and ship all around the US too.
The Desserts: The desserts in each box are all from small companies with super special (and delicious) confections you can’t find in stores. Each box has a different selection of desserts and all of them are pretty much the exact opposite of run-of-the-mill sweets. Our mission is to make these gifts really unique and a mind-blowing alternative to flowers or traditional (boring) gifts. The gift giving process should be fun and inspirational on both the giving and the getting sides! We also hand-make cards and handwrite custom notes on them to put inside.
Social Impact: We have a social impact page that outlines what we do with Food for Thought. Food for Thought is a local non-profit that provides kids in low income schools in Denver with PoweSacks of food for the weekend, when they might not have reliable food otherwise. We are funding a weekend of food for a Denver child with every dessert box sold.”
