I own a fabric tote bag company called World For Good.
My social enterprise exists to help give the underprivileged community a way to earn fair wages by making fabric tote bags out of textile scraps that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill.
Here is how it works:
1. Left-over fabric scraps from clothing manufacturing companies are donated to nonprofit centers that employ the underprivileged community
2. The makers make the fabric bags
3. I buy them at fairtrade guidelines
4. I sell them and then I buy more from the makers
It’s a wonderful circular economy that helps people thrive and helps to reduce the need for plastic bags.
Every purchase supports fair wage employment and skills training for women who are at a high risk or survivors of trafficking, slavery and/or poverty.
Founder Story Jennifer Moreau-Chick is a marketer, a graphic designer, a videographer, a LEED Green Associate, the Executive Director for Florida For Good: a business community inspired by the global Conscious Capitalism and B Corp movements AND the owner of World For Good. These movements are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit.
World For Good was created to serve as a means to alleviate poverty, reduce inequality, build stronger communities and create more high quality jobs with dignity and purpose for the underprivileged by creating a successful circular economy.
Before devoting her work fulltime to Florida For Good and World For Good, Jennifer served as the Marketing Director for First GREEN Bank, a local B Corp bank with a global mission and the first bank in the Southeastern United States that was dedicated to social and environmental responsibility.
In addition to “green-shaping” the Florida business community, Jennifer enjoys fossil hunting adventures with her husband. She uses these trips to not only connect with nature, but to collect video footage of history being unearthed.
