Who is behind The Better Good? Corey and Laura Neufeld. We are husband and wife, and the parents of two rowdy, young boys. We live in Buena Vista, just a short walk to the shop.
So, what kind of stuff do you sell? We think of The Better Good as a place you can go to find better choices for everyday needs. Home Décor, Clothing, Shoes, Bags, Books, Journals, Body care products , Cleaners, Kids stuff, Mattresses, Coffee, Chocolate and lots of other stuff!
We look for products that fit into at least one of these categories:
Organic- better for your health and for the planet.
Fair Trade - better for the producer.
Local - better for our community.
Made from reused/recycled/renewable materials.
Handmade – because hands are better than robots.
Natural - because natural materials are safest.
What else do you do? We give away money. Sharing what we have is important to us, so we decided to share 10% of company profits with local and international charities. We also get involved in the community with events like our free outdoor yoga classes.
Retire Your Ride was dishing out bike powered smoothies at the shop during The Fringe!
Thanks for all the support this summer. And thanks for helping these children! TOMS always gives a pair of shoes to a child in need for each pair purchased.
As always, it's One for One! Looking good has never been so helpful.
TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about. The TOMS One for One business model transforms our customers into benefactors, which allows us to grow a truly sustainable business rather than depending on fundraising for support.
Many children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk:
A leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases, and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause.
Wearing shoes also prevents feet from getting cuts and sores. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected.
Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential.
Looks like a go for this Sunday! Come enjoy the beauty of Saskatoon at 10AM in Rotary Park. And don't forget to picnic.
