Get Ugly Sweaters Merges Holiday Fashion Trend and Charitable Outreach
(PRWEB) November 22, 2017 -- Aside from offering non-traditional holiday sweaters through its online outlet, Get Ugly Sweaters stands out from the rest by giving back. In the midst of the growing ugly sweater craze, the brand decided to show its strong sense of corporate responsibility and social awareness by partnering with the one of the leading anti-hunger organizations, Project Bread. This partnership reflects the company’s belief that although the holidays are for celebrating, we should always be in the spirit of giving.
"When it came time to choose a charity to partner with on this project, we immediately thought of Project Bread," said Mercedez Lemieux, founding team member of Get Ugly Sweaters. "Their dedication to eradicating hunger in local communities and historic success over the last 50 years made partnering with them a no-brainer."
Since Project Bread’s start in 1969, it has made a significant impact on different communities throughout Massachusetts. It’s two-pronged approach sets it apart from the rest. It first focuses on immediate relief for the hungry, while also dedicating time to find sustainable and long-term solutions for starvation in kids and in families. A range of charitable programs have helped them find success in both sectors.
The team behind this organization recognizes that the opposite of hungry is healthy. In hopes of spreading health, they hold annual events such as The Walk for Hunger, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. This fundraising event is the centerpiece of the organization and has raised millions each year thanks to giving patrons. They’ve used these donations to fund programs that not only ensure accessible food to those in need, but to strengthen and revive food systems.
By joining forces with this notable organization, Get Ugly Sweaters prides itself on getting a little naughty while still doing nice. Shoppers are not only purchasing unapologetically risqué designs and satirical sweaters, but are providing 14 hot meals to those in need.
Get Ugly Sweater’s approach to the holiday sweater fad is driven by hopes to spread cheer to a range of communities in a multitude of ways.
