Jacksonville-based nonprofit makes items like purses and bracelets.
Whether you are planning to participate in a company gift exchange or hoping to find something special for your friends and loved ones, it’s never bad idea to consider purchasing a handmade item.
This holiday season, VyStar members have a special opportunity to do just that while also supporting a nonprofit organization that truly makes a difference.
In an effort to encourage community members to “Shop With a Purpose,” VyStar is partnering with Rethreaded to offer members a 15% discount on all purchases made between Nov. 30 and Dec. 12. All you have to do to is shop at www.rethreaded.com and use the discount code vystar at checkout.
Not familiar with Rethreaded? The Jacksonville-based nonprofit provides on-site job training programs for human trafficking survivors. Employees use upcycled materials to produce high-quality merchandise such as purses, bracelets, earrings and more. Every purchase helps women affected by human trafficking and provides additional employment opportunities at Rethreaded, which means you can buy a gift for someone in your life and know you are helping many others.
Visit the Rethreaded website to start shopping and learn more about their story.
