Charity

From the moment we decided that we were going to try to produce and sell the Menurkey Asher had two requests:

1) That we produce the Menurkey in the United States (mission accomplished) – and –

2) That we give away a perecentage of the profts to charity.

This warmed our hearts, since charitable giving is such a huge part of our family’s modus operandi. To think that some of our guiding principles were rubbing off on our kids unprovoked.

The story of the Menurkey’s improbable success is well documented, so needless to say we found ourselves in a very lucky place to be able to give any of the profits away. We’re happy to report that since its inception the Menurkey has given away over $13,000 to 13 non-profit organizations, most causes hand-picked by Asher himself.

It’s been a pretty amazing tour, and I would be remiss if I didn’t list the very worth organizations here, just in case you feel like joining us in spreading the love.

We’d like to thank all of these wonderful organizations for the hard work they do to make the world a better place. As we continue to sell Menurkeys we’ll continue to pass some of that love on to those that need it most.

After handing the fourth or fifth ‘big check’ off to one of the wonderful stewards of these incredible organizations, Asher said he’d always known how great it made him feel to get things, but now he realized how amazing it felt to give.
