Why LOOP Gives Back.
Community is defined as a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.
Since the beginning we have always said that we could have never anticipated when starting this journey was the amazing community of empowering women our product has been able to bring together.
We have always strived to encourage women to come together and share raw, relatable aspects of their daily lives.
Over the last few months we all as a community have experienced new uncertainties, vulnerabilities and very important lessons.
When we decided to start making community face masks, our goal was simple: help protect our community. We could of, once again, never anticipated the support from OUR community. You.
We committed to our customers as our ‘thank you’ we would donate $1 from every community face masks. It has been an incredible experience and we want to take this opportunity to introduce you to some of these amazing not-for profits.
