A Recap, what is Summer Against Hunger?

Over the past 25 years The Cable Company has generated over $5 million in donations to Care.org,   which is most famous for their "CARE Package." In 2020 like the rest of us, CARE has pivoted in response to the pandemic. They are uniquely well-positioned due to their on-the-ground presence in 13 of the 14 developing countries considered at “very high risk.”  And their fundamental approach to the crisis, starting with basics like hygiene, potable water, and strengthening basic health infrastructure, is 100% consistent with their ongoing, longer term projects in these countries.

Every August either 50% or 100% of each dollar spent at The Cable Co supports CARE. It is 100% for our Sponsored Brands, so when you spend $100 on our Sponsored products, CARE gets $100. Spend $3500, CARE gets $3500. Dollar for dollar donation matching for our Sponsored Brands, that’s our guarantee. For all other purchases, even used products, CARE gets 50%.

It sounds strange. How can ALL of the money spent on Sponsored purchases go to CARE?

Easy, with matching grants! Our own contribution is matched by our Sponsoring vendors, which is then matched by an anonymous donor, and this total is further matched by an institutional donor. In short: in August when you invest in a product from one of our Sponsoring vendors, CARE gets an equal 100% benefit.

Interested in something not being sponsored? All products - even used products - purchased by our customers in August, generate at least a 50% donation to CARE. But do give our sponsors an extra look. These are our partners in this fundraiser, they make this event possible, and their generosity is worthy of your special consideration.
