Dear friend,
This holiday season, we’re into counting - adding up all the things that make our spirits bright and multiplying them by all of the people who share them with us.
It’s a long list, starting with cherished family and friends, interesting and savvy clients, the incredible natural beauty of our environment, and limitless possibilities for the future.
While we’re counting, the Fireflies have added some of their favorite things for giving and sharing. We’ve got a smorgasbord for you: from environmentally-friendly gifts to charitable suggestions and tasty treats.
We're especially proud of our 2022 Florida Ranches Calendar - a beautiful, vintage gift for people to enjoy all year long and a labor of love for us to publish.
As we welcome this time of year, our hearts are filled with love and gratitude for our family and friends. We hope your holiday season is filled with joy.
With kindness,
|

So Many Ways to Give from the Heart
Whether it's local or global, nonprofits are always looking for your time, talent or treasure. It all starts from the heart.
|
|
|
|
Charity Water. There are 785 million people in the world who live without clean water. Access to clean water means education, income, and health - especially for women and kids. Support this global non-profit's life-sustaining efforts here.
A local organization with a similar mission is Students for H20. Their goal is to enhance education, stewardship, and citizenship for all students in our community through clean water habits.
|
|
|
|
Fairtrade. Changing the way trade works through better prices, decent working conditions and a fairer deal for farmers and workers in developing countries. By connecting farmers and workers with the people who buy their products, they have more control over their lives and decide how to invest in their future.
Located in Downtown Stuart, Castronova Chocolate is a participant of Fairtrade. Every chocolate made has its own story about the people, culture, and environment. They find wild and heirloom cacao varieties that have unique flavors for you to savor and enjoy.

|
|
4ocean. Every 4ocean product purchased comes with a "One Pound Promise" to remove trash from the oceans, rivers and coastlines. This supports a growing movement to end the world’s reliance on single-use plastic, and advances our mission to end the ocean plastic crisis.


Locally, Keep Martin Beautiful hosts annual cleanup events and offers opportunities for residents to Adopt a Road by supplying regularly available supplies for residents in Martin County to take their own initiative. To host your own cleanup, click here.

The ugly truth is that it can be expensive to eat healthy foods. Yet, almost half of the food grown in the U.S. is thrown out since it can't be sold due to misguided aesthetic standards. Misfit Market takes in high-quality, misshapen foods that grocery stores would generally throw away, but are every bit as delicious to eat.
