Though founded less than a year ago, Spirit for Living, a daily and active women's brand, is already living true to their promise of making an impact on women's lives here and around the world. Founder and Designer Jennifer D. Smith recently donated $2,500 worth of clothing to benefit the Hamels Foundation's annual Diamonds & Denim Event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "I am committed to improving the lives of women and families. Spirit for Living is more than a brand, it is a way of life," stated Jennifer. The Hamels Foundation is an international not-for-profit organization that strives to end extreme poverty through education.
In September 2010, after years of research and planning, Jennifer launched Spirit for Living, a women's clothing brand of stylish yet comfortable daywear made from organic and nature fibers. Having traveled extensively around the world for business and pleasure, Jennifer has witnessed firsthand extreme poverty and its devastating path of destruction. "I have been to various places in the Middle East, Asia, South America and even right in the U.S. where I have witnessed poverty and all of the various social effects it has on families and communities. It is amazing how education can dramatically affect children by providing encouragement, self-esteem and knowledge about themselves and the world around them. The correlation between education and poverty, nutrition and income levels support why this excellent cause is so important. I commend organizations that tackle this grave societal concern."
Over the past few years, Jennifer has donated hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to support various social causes such as early childhood cancer, sustainable waste management and homelessness. Her passion for social development and sustainable living is the main driver that led her to Spirit for Living. Jennifer noticed the proliferation of waste and usage of harsh chemicals in the clothing industry and wanted to fill that gap with an eco-friendly brand. She developed Spirit for Living clothing to provide women with durable and classic pieces made from natural fibers. Spirit for Living does not end there, one of the founding missions of this organization is to support the global community by encouraging women and families to live more cognizant and thoughtful lives.
"I applaud the Hamel Foundation for the strides they have made for women, families and generations to come to end poverty-induced social injustice by empowering young people." Attendees of the Diamonds & Denim event will receive a gift bag with a $50 voucher towards any Spirit for Living online purchases. The voucher is good for one year.
"Spirit for Living will continue to support social causes that improve the lives of women and families around the world. That is our promise."
