We believe by making small yet meaningful changes in people’s lives, you can make a measurable difference in a community just by supporting your local farmers and small businesses.
We saw a local food void in our community so we volunteered and established several local farmers’ markets in the area. We wanted to foster community relationships, preserve local farms and provide farmers a place to distribute their foods. We also wanted to raise awareness of buying from small farmers and small business owners, and spread knowledge about eating healthy and using clean products to help others establish a healthier lifestyle.
Through this networking, we have encouraged several business partnerships and relationships develop and prosper.
There is a great need in our country to contribute to humanitarian efforts. An organization located right here in North Carolina is Samaritan’s Purse. One of their projects is Operation Christmas Child which runs throughout the year giving gift boxes to children around the world.
Samaritan’s Purse organization also provides disaster relief to areas in our country hit by devastating hardships. Examples of their aid have included Midwest tornado storm relief, California fire relief, Florida hurricane relief, and hundreds more. We believe in giving back to help people get back to a healthy life after a major trial. Samaritan Purse has set up an organization that can help us help others during their time of need. Learn more.
Over 20 years ago we were blessed with the opportunity to work with an amazing group out of Tema, Ghana to help them with their business. We had no idea at the time that we started to help them raise money for their ministry that years later they would be a key partner in our business today providing some of the best shea butter in the world to our company.
The ministries they do in Ghana have a profound impact on the people outside the major cities to save and enrich lives. MLI provides a variety of humanitarian efforts to the people of Ghana including providing medical supplies, train “bush” women simple birthing medical procedures, access to a hospital, access to fresh water, and Christian teaching materials to those who seek the word of Christ.

We support local and foreign missions through both our time and business resources, a percentage of what [you] purchase through our company. We started a local ministry called ‘Care4Confined’ in which we give care and food to those in wheelchairs or confined to walkers or chairs upwards in their senior years. We also volunteer with ‘UnderTheBridge’ project. UTBP helps to feed our homeless with both the word of God and hot meals.
Foreign missions include the Billy Graham Association; North Carolina, GFA World; Texas, C.H.I.L.D non-profit; North Carolina, and Meaningful Life International, Ghana.
