“We are going to donate over $10,000 to different charities that are out to help find missing children. There are some 400,000 missing kids in 2020. That is just wild to think about,” said FAB CBD’s founder in a recent statement. “We are also donating over $10,000 to a struggling business that is living a nightmare right now through Covid. We are entrepreneurs, so we understand the struggle. We were able to successfully navigate through Covid, but not everyone else was able to, so we want to help.” A study conducted in May of this year by researchers at the University of Illinois, Harvard Business School, Harvard University, and the University of Chicago found that at least two percent of small businesses in the United States have closed their doors forever due to the Covid pandemic. When put into actual numbers, this small percentage translates to well over 100,000 businesses that have permanently shut down. Small businesses are the lifeblood of any community. Not only do small businesses help their communities thrive, they also offer residents many unique products and services that cannot be found or purchased at big box retailers. Small businesses have a charm and a character that keep people coming back for more. Likewise, small business owners have become just like family to the patrons that frequent their stores. The death of small businesses must be prevented at all costs if our communities wish to continue growing and flourishing. This year, thanks to the continued support of our customers, our team has graciously and whole-heartedly accepted this mission. As stated earlier, our other goal is to donate much-needed funding to charities that help find missing children. According to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, at least 700,000 people, primarily women and children, are trafficked within or across international borders. Moreover, approximately 50,000 women and children are trafficked into the United States every year. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or NCMEC, reports that according to the FBI, there were 421,394 National Crime Information Center, or NCIC, entries for missing children in 2019 alone. Finally, on its website, the NCMEC reports that in 2019, of the nearly 26,300 reported runaways, 1 in 6 were likely to be victims of child sex trafficking. Everyone here at FAB CBD regularly focuses our efforts to give back by helping those in need. The ways in which we have been able to uplift others include: *Working with our local Make-A-Wish Foundation to help grant wishes for three Milwaukee children with serious medical conditions *Donating holiday gifts and meals to local community members in need *Donating funds in support of Milwaukee’s Northbrook Church that sought to have over 1,000 homemade masks made for the staff at The Milwaukee Rescue Mission and Care Givers in Washington County amid the Covid-19 shutdown *Supporting a local worship center, Mix Church of Milwaukee, with a $5,000 contribution to help alleviate financial strain for the church and its members during the Covid-19 shutdown *Donating $5,000 to the Watering Seeds Organization to help make it possible for the charity to provide education, training, and adaptive sports equipment to help wounded veterans and challenged individuals *Working in partnership with the local Milwaukee branch of Feeding America to secure a $10,000 donation to help supply food to struggling individuals and families amid the Covid-19 shutdown and beyond *Partnering with a handful of local schools in urban Milwaukee areas to donate over 50 Chromebooks to students whose families lack the technical support they need to carry on distance learning amid the Covid-19 shutdown This year, when you shop our Black Friday Sale, you will be helping our team make an impactful difference in the lives of a small business owner and survivors of child abduction/child sex trafficking.
