Unlike so many others, what`s Surbag™ remains dedicated to their product being made in the USA. In addition, the company wanted to give back to city in need. What better place than New Orleans? After Hurricane Katrina devastated parts of the city of New Orleans, Sue Princiotto decided that she would do whatever possible to give back. Thanks to what`Surbag™, a city affected by an environmental crisis can now play a major part in eliminating another.
what`Surbag™ has partnered with Hope House as a means of giving back to the New Orleans community; a percentage of all sales will be donated to Hope House. Hope House and what`Surbag™ have also partnered to provide work to the underprivileged community in New Orleans, allowing them to give back as well. If/when you send your bags back to what`Surbag™, the recycled bags will be re-created as rag rugs and other products, giving them a second life.
Hope House is a non-profit organization founded in 1969 by two Roman Catholic nuns and depends solely on grants and donations to continue their work of charity and justice. Their programs include but are not limited to: Emergency rent, food and shelter assistance, after-school youth programs, adult learning programs, prison ministry and workshops on poverty and justice.
