Support vegan businesses and do good

Shopping with vegan businesses is always a good idea. Not only do you help keep a vegan business afloat, you also ensure your dollars aren’t supporting industries (such as factory farming) that don’t align with your values. When you shop with vegan businesses that donate proceeds to animals, your hard-earned dollar does double the work. You’re helping a vegan business thrive while also helping animals. Now that’s a sweet deal.

This compassionate sock company has designated certain socks that support specific charities that help wildlife and companion animals. Socks are named for the cause they’re helping—like “socks that protect turtles” and “socks that protect cheetahs”—but if you’ve got a dog or cat in your house, you may want to consider “socks that save dogs” and “socks that save cats,” both of which support Best Friends Animal Society.

6 Brewing Good Coffee Company

Need another reason to drink coffee? Then consider that for every cup of Brewing Good’s roasts that you sip, you’ll be helping animals. The vegan-owned business used to donate 10 percent of all proceeds to nonprofits that protect animals, choosing a different nonprofit around the United States each month (past recipients have included Uplands PEAK Sanctuary, Pigs Peace Sanctuary, and Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation). But now, it chooses special projects and fundraisers to donate to regularly. While you can order its organic and fair-trade coffees online, you can also stop by its location in Savage, MD for its roasts and array of vegan treats.

After more than 17 years in animal rescue, including running A Dog’s Life Rescue in Los Angeles, Julia Pennington and Allison Lange decided to make the leap into the alcohol industry as a way to give back directly to animal rescues (and after seeing firsthand how difficult fundraising could be). A portion of each bottle’s proceeds are donated back to causes such as funding free spay/neuter days in local communities and donating to animal rescues’ spay/neuter programs. In addition, every bar that serves Hera on its bar menu donates $1 from each cocktail sold to local rescues as well.
