Altruism and Philanthropy
Small Acts, Big Impact
"Think globally, act locally."
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Ghandi
My Brittle strives to build and strengthen community. We are happy to show love and support by donating a portion of proceeds to good causes locally. Also having a hands on presence at local altruistic events is a valuable practice.
Always remember the impact that small gestures and simple moments can make. A smile, and a simple greeting can go a long way to make a big difference in someone's day.
Current proceeds of My Brittle are benefiting Surfrider
