As we celebrate Thanksgiving this year, we cannot help but give thanks for all of the partners who continue to support us and our employees. Our mission is to connect you, the customer, with our makers, in order to sustain fair wage jobs and empower families through the dignity of work.
This year to date, with your support, we've produced more than 250,000 garments and generated 20,622 days, or more than 175,000 hours, of employment in Haiti.
For our employees, this work means everything. The team has shown up through unimaginable challenges this fall as Ariane shared with us several weeks ago. We are so grateful for all of you who have linked arms with us to provide for the team when so many companies are leaving Haiti.
In addition to supporting our teams in Haiti and Kansas City, we were able to award our first ever GOEX Grant in the US to support an organization investing in job training for transition age youth. We awarded that grant to Look Ma No Hands in September and are excited to see how they use the funds to grow their program and impact even more students.
So, as we celebrate this season, from our family to yours, thank you for caring. Thank you for trusting us with your business and for making it possible for all of the members of our team to celebrate with their families as well. We are both humbled and empowered by your support.
