Causes

Last Updated: July 19, 2022 | by Lenny Gale

At Life is NOYOKE, we do our best to organize, educate, and inspire. But with our hyper-focused niche, The Vitamix Machine, we know that we must broaden our reach.

So through charitable donations, we support the following causes. Maybe you’ll be inspired to do the same.

Mercy for Animals: Advocacy for animals by bringing awareness to the public about the plight of factory farming.

The Bennet Foundation: Fighting childhood obesity by educating communities about healthy lifestyle.

Advocates for Urban Agriculture: Improving access to fresh, local food by expanding sustainable agriculture in the Chicago area.

We support quite a few non-food related causes as well. Fighting domestic violence, youth summer camp scholarships, and disease research, are a few.

If you’d like our support for your not-for-profit, contact us.

Thanks,
Shalva and Lenny Gale

P.S. Image below is from the “potato bar” dinner we hosted at a local homeless shelter. It was the first time since childhood I had donated my time (instead of just money) to a good cause. No doubt, it was one of the most fun, joyous, and rewarding nights all year.

It takes most people 3-6 weeks to fully appreciate the Vitamix machine, figure out which model is right for them, and then finally “take the plunge.”

The best way to get there is by signing up for our email series. We’ll share insights from Vitamix owners and keep you updated about upcoming deals.
