‘Tis the season for gathering around the table with loved ones. But even though we know it’s time to sit intentionally in gratitude for all the blessings in our lives, we absolutely want you to shop the amazing Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals! But lets make sure a lot of that purchase power goes to purpose, too.
The military community is filled with incredible businesses to support and these 10 are some of our favorites.
1. Spouse-ly
This Air Force spouse founded business is basically an epic Etsy shop filled with items created and sold by military spouses. It’s a one stop shop for all your needs while supporting the ones holding down the homefront.
2. De Espresso Liber
Coffee is one of the universal experiences so many draw comfort and enjoyment in. De Espresso Liber is a micro roaster out of Washington state owned and operated by a Green Beret. Not only are all of his beans and roasts high quality but so many of them give back to the military community, too.
3. Soledier Socks
Founded in 2017 by Elle Rueger, each purchase of American made socks sends a pair to veterans and military members in the person’s name. It was inspired after Ruegar’s friend, Tommy, was on a combat deployment to Afghanistan. When sending care packages the most requested item was always socks. To date, her business has given away over $20,000 to military nonprofits!
