Uptown Liz

{By Emily ~ August 20, 2008} 

As you know, I feel strongly about giving back in some small way and I love writing about places where your shopping can really make a difference. So today, I wanted to spotlight a website that also lives by retail philanthropy (the opportunity to purchase quality products that benefit worthwhile causes). Uptown Liz is a wonderful resource that was founded to promote products from companies whose proceeds directly give back to charitable organizations.

Uptown-Liz

Ramona, the founder of Uptown Liz, created this company in memory of her 28 year old sister who died from a long and painful battle with breast cancer. To help fulfill her sister’s dreams, their mission is to “build a bridge between compassionate consumers and concerned companies in order to improve the world.”

A feature that I love about this site is that you can finds shop or stores by “cause” or by “product” - that way if you feel strongly about a particular cause, you have a list of all the places that support your similar goals.

    Yes! I love Uptown Liz! She’s an awesome resource - I even used her site as a reference when I did the “Saving the World One Shopping Trip at a Time” article on SuperMom Central.

    I love your articles on giving back! Keep up the good work.

    What a wonderful idea! I like when my shopping dollars support something I believe in.
