Just received a new delivery of Kentucky Colonel mint from Jamie at Teens 4 Good (definitely worth checking out their site). It is amazing how our entire place becomes engulfed in the smell of this wonderful plant! It seems to permeate the senses and bring back memories of my Grandmother's garden.
While Jamie was here we sat and discussed how J&K might be able to help out Teens 4 Good. She explained that they were working hard to fundraise in this difficult economic environment and that we might be able to help with their efforts. We both brainstormed a bit and came up with some cool ideas. One realization was that we have relationships with businesses that use our chocolates for corporate gifts and it would be a natural evolution for us to introduce these businesses to Teens 4 Good and the other not-for-profit organizations we work with. A business could, for example, send a gift of chocolates with a message explaining that a donation had also been made to Teens 4 Good, the same organization that grows the mint for the mint chocolates inside the box they would soon enjoy!
