noun
A feeling of involvement in and concern for one's local community.
It is important to us that we give back and we are proud to help support the community where we can, both in personal time or by donating products to help aid a cause or with financial support.
The Herbal Connection supports Rosies Friends on the Street with time spent feeding the homeless and giving support to those sleeping rough. In addition we make regular product donations to their kitchen as well as the volunteer staff. We are now regular donors of product to the Sea Shepherd and are proud to help an organisation doing so much to stand up for our marine life and to protect the sanctuary they call home. Our small team regularly donate blood when our local blood van is in town we all head over and make our contribution. Through The Smith Family support a child program we are assisting two young men through school with regular monthly donations, assisting with the purchase of books, internet, uniforms and excursions.
The Herbal Connection makes regular monetary donations to various charities that are in need of additional financial aid throughout the year and have for the last 6 years given additional support at Christmas to family support services in our local area. We feel blessed to have such wonderful customers who support our family business and allow us the opportunity to donate, without The Herbal Connection we would not have the resources to give as much as we do.
There are many worthwhile causes to support and whilst we only contribute to a few in this way we do try our best to be responsible and caring global citizens and do what we can to support both charitable organisations as well as local people in need.
