In March of 2021, Tasty Treat ran its first charity sale and donated 100% of the charity sale profits to Asian American support organizations in the wake of the Atlanta spa shootings. As an Asian business owner, it was the only way that Kimmie S'amore could think of to channel all of the emotional outrage, sadness, anger, fear, and grief into something useful for the victims and impacted communities. When asked for help, the Tasty Treat community stepped UP, boosting the signal and helping her one-seamstress business donate over $600 in a single weekend.
Kimmie's community came to her aid when she needed it, and she realized that the only thing to do from that point forward was to show love and pay it forward to other communities with whom we stand in solidarity.
We deeply believe in the importance of giving back, both on a local level, and worldwide those who need it. Whether it is a large donation or a small one, we want to normalize companies adopting business models with built-in ways to turn money into something that does humanity some good. Therefore, going forward, 3% of every sale made on the Tasty Treat website, as well as 100% of all Add-On Donations will be donated to our organization of the month. Each month we will feature an organization whose mission either includes aiding marginalized communities, or aligns with our values of inclusivity/sustainability. We welcome nominations of organizations and causes from our customers - please contact us if you would like to nominate an organization or cause!

THANK YOU
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank everyone who purchased and donated this past weekend. We were able to raise hundreds of dollars in less than 48 hours to distribute to organizations Red Canary Song, the Asian Mental Health Collective, and STOP AAPI Hate. For a small business like us, that's a huge victory and a testament to our incredible customer base. Thank you for showing mad love for our mission to Do Better by the communities that were immediately impacted by last week's shootings in ATL. Thanks to the outpouring of support this past weekend, we've begun work on setting up a system to continue supplying donations in the future to a rotating list of AAPI, BIPoC, and SWer support organizations. In the interim, until we get the system set up, we've left the donation add-on as an item. You've shown us that there is so much that even a small business like us can do to Do Better to support marginalized communities, and we want to make sure that the love you've shown continues to Do The Most. Please stay tuned for more information.
xoxo,
Kimmie
