GIVEN

Posted on Wednesday at 8:07

World Vision has been a trusted partner with us here at Jedidiah for many years. Earlier this year, we worked on two distinct projects with them. When the tsunami struck Japan, we quickly created a mini t-shirt collection and raised over 40,000.00 to assist the efforts of World Vision in the recovery and restoration of devastated communities there. Also, our spring/summer collection sales went to help further the construction of a trauma recovery center in Cambodia that is a first shelter for children rescued away from sexual exploitation.

Now, we are supremely excited to announce a new and unique, long term partnership we have established with World Vision in an effort to dive deeper into our relationship.

Under our Made For Good family of brands, we have created a new brand offering that is inspired by the amazing field work done by their global staff.

Welcome to GIVEN!

All proceeds from GIVEN will fund World Vision’s efforts “to provide a better world for children.” This new brand reflects our belief that our capacity to GIVE to others is directly related to our understanding of how much we have first been GIVEN. To see the new line, click here.

Robert’s StandUp For Kids Story

Posted on Tuesday at 6:40

“StandUp For Kids is always there to help no matter the time or weather. On multiple occasions I hadn’t eaten the whole day or more and you guys were there to make my stomach full. Plenty of times I had gone without a shower for a few days. I was able to get soap or toothbrushes and help from you guys, which has not only helped with appearance for others, but is a necessity when job hunting. I wouldn’t be where I am now without you guys” -Robert P. Orange County, CA

Jedidiah’s Fall and Holiday lines benefit StandUp For Kids to support them in helping kids like Robert succeed.

November- National Homeless Youth Awareness Month

Posted on Thursday at 12:40

November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month! StandUp For Kids, a national non-profit improving the lives of homeless youth, is our Fall/Holiday partner and we are excited to support their Big Purple Couch movement for the month. Their goal for this November is to put a ‘big purple couch’ in every school, university, place of business and public building in order to bring attention to the 1.3 million youth who are homeless in our country today. Why a purple couch? Many of the homeless kids “couch surf” – moving from one home/couch to another while trying to finish school, find a job and get out of their current situation.

In addition to our Fall/Holiday collections that benefit StandUp For Kids, we have released a special Big Purple Couch t-shirt line for the month of November. 100% of the proceeds benefit StandUp For Kids in their efforts to help homeless youth. Click here to help now.
