About US
MISSION STATEMENT:
Establish Jedidiah as a premiere message driven brand in the fashion industry so that we can create a revenue stream to assist those less fortunate than us through increased awareness, financial contributions and service projects.
The following six principles will help guide us to measure the purpose and effectiveness of our decisions.
• Create a heartfelt work environment where everyone is treated with respect, dignity and compassion.
• Use the highest standards of excellence in designing, sourcing, producing, branding, selling and shipping our products.
• Embrace our clothing as a platform to convey our message of Hope, Grace, Encouragement, Forgiveness and Love.
• Develop and maintain passionate customers through thought provoking product and superior customer service.
• Contribute to the world around us through financial, emotional, relational and prayerful support.
• Understand that being profitable is essential to our future and fulfilling the desires of our hearts.
1% FOR HUMANITY™
We at Jedidiah feel as though nothing is more valuable than human life. We believe the world changes one individual at a time and it is with this in mind that Jedidiah is a proud participant and founding member of 1% for Humanity™. One percent of Jedidiah’s total revenue will be donated to various social aid programs and humanitarian groups dedicated to creating change both on a global level and in our own backyard. Whether its giving back to the inhabitants of Indonesia with Surf Aid’s Wave of Compassion, helping restore and rehabilitate the youth of Northern Uganda, or taking a day off to hang out with the kids at an orphanage in Mexico we understand that genuine fortunate living means respecting your fellow man, and helping bring about change. Join us as we bridge the gap between fashion and social awareness.
THE HOPE COLLECTION
Jedidiah presents the Hope Collection, a series of t-shirts designed to benefit certain humanitarian organizations and their causes. In addition to the revenue contributed through our 1% for Humanity commitment, Jedidiah will be donating over 40% of the proceeds from these ten collaborations to their respective social aid affiliates. The groups we have partnered with for 2008 are highlighted in the Activism section of this site, please spend a few minutes to learn more about them and how you can be more involved.
MANIFESTO
In 2001, the concept of a clothing brand that would be rooted in love became a reality for a small group of people in southern California. Burdened by what seemed to be an endless onslaught of lifestyle alternatives that promote self-gratification, greed and addiction. Jedidiah embarked on a path of trying to touch the hearts of people through clothing. We feel that serving others is more fulfilling to the human heart than serving yourself.
In a world that changes faster than we can keep up with, we are holding on to the timeless truths of loving your fellow man, hope in the future and helping those less fortunate than us. We believe in relationships and the art of conversation. We believe everyone was created uniquely and for a purpose. We believe the world changes one person at a time. We encourage people to stop letting the world tell them who they should be, but rather, listen to the still small voice inside of them and become who they are meant to be. We believe if you truly search for the truth about yourself and your identity, you will find it. We are constantly encouraged by the strength and beauty we find in people. We firmly believe that people long to be part of something bigger than themselves. We have tremendous faith in human spirit and the heart of this generation.
We cater to you …the artist, the musician, the thinker, the athlete and the dreamer. Through our clothing and our message, we try and inspire questions. Through these questions we have a chance to learn more about someone else, to make a friend, to encourage, to make a difference. So fear less and hope more, judge less and accept more.
Jedidiah is for lovers …and sometimes love requires action.
