Our Causes
The Spirit of Compassion.
Our mission is to elevate your spirit. While we achieve that mostly through our products and people, we also aspire to be good and do good through our partners and philanthropy. We are supporters of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals, concentrating on people and programs that fuel the achievement of Goal 2 (less hunger) and Goal 3 (more health).
Our main focus today is donating a portion of proceeds from each bottle sold to the World Central Kitchen Elevating Spirits campaign. They were first on the ground, feeding Ukrainian refugees crossing the border to Poland. Our Crew has common heritage and history from Ukraine and Poland. Supporting WCK was the highest-impact thing we could do to help the lives of others in our homelands.
We also support high-impact, hyper-local organizations in our communities. Specifically, by aiding fundraising programs through in-kind donations of our California vodka from 100% apples we seek to elevate your spirit at local auctions, sporting events, cocktail parties, and dinners. If you have a charity or organization that you would like us to support, please email us here.
