We’ve been blown away by the examples of generosity and kindness that are at the heart of so many brands in the community. We asked some of the most giving entrepreneurs and leaders we know to tell us about how they think about the practice of donating a percentage of sales.

When I started Hogan Made, I came from working in the non-profit sector, and saw the challenges from a mid sized to very large sized non-profits faced. I worked directly with our clients and know that even the smallest donations helped from time to time. I vowed that I would give back to my community in a way that would work for my business. I launched the Purch the Merch Community Giving Program in 2016 and started sponsoring smaller non-profit organizations in the Tampa Bay area. Read more>>

We do our best to stay as authentic to the Shave Ice experience you’d get if you got it in Hawaii – from the machines, flavors, and style of preparation. We love Hawaiian Shave Ice, and want to make sure that we are sending that love back to the source, which is why all of our flavors, machines, and cups come from a Hawaii-based seller that started as a family business 35 years ago.

Our mission is Beer to Biscuits-Kitchen to Community. Read more>>
