Toms isn’t the only brand that does good. And apparel isn’t the only industry that’s charitable. When decorating or furnishing your home, you can make someone else’s home better by shopping these brands that support charity organizations.

Every year, Pottery Barn releases a line of products for the Thanks and Giving campaign that supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The campaign goes through the holidays, and Pottery Barn donates 50 percent of each purchase from the special line to the hospital. During the campaign, customers can also donate when they purchase anything and when they purchase a gift card, a portion of that goes to the hospital. Items from the collection have included ornaments and candles.
2. Hand in Hand

Bob Dalton sells super soft blankets in every color and fabric imaginable. He was inspired to help the homeless population when his mother, a hardworking single mom, found herself living on the streets in 2013. So, he founded Sackcloth & Ashes, which donates one blanket to your local homeless shelter every time you purchase a blanket. Since the company launched in 2014, S&A has provided over 7,500 blankets to homeless shelters.
4. Canvas Home
