New York Jets star linebacker Erin Henderson announced that he is helping Jersey City children in Back2School efforts today, Thursday August 27th at 12 noon.

Henderson teamed up with AngelaCARES and the United Way of Hudson County to provide needed school supplies and even sports memorabilia to students at Urban Expedition Summer Camp and the Miss Chevonne School of Etiquette.  The distribution ach child in these programs will receive a book bag filled with supplies.

“School is essential for the success of our young people,” Angela V. McKnight Founder and CEO of AngelaCARES said.  “Unfortunately, many students do not have and many families cannot afford even the basic supplies such as a notebook, pen, pencil or folders to attend school.”

“I am always willing to provide a way, outlet or spot of hope for those in need, especially children and initiatives that promote education.  Reaching out to get involved was a no brainer for me,” said Henderson.

Let’s get our school on!

karmalize.meWelcome to wellness with Karmalize.Me, where fresh, organic kind-to-you food items are made to order and delivered to your doorstep.

Karmalize.Me is, as the name suggests, a company that provides nourishment that breeds good karma. The products are mostly nuts and grains based. Everything is organic, good for you, and delivered to your doorstep. But best of all, 50% of the profit from your purchase is donated to the charity of your choice.

almond milk

A day after I placed my order for Sprouted Almond Milk, Shubhra personally delivered it to my doorstep. It is made from Karmalize.Me‘s organic raw almonds that have been soaked for 16 hours, causing them to begin to germinate. Because the soaking process releases the almonds’ enzyme inhibitors, your body has to do much less work to absorb the nutrients. The milk, having no preservatives, is creamier and easier to digest than regular nut milk.

It is freshly made upon order, so anticipate a day or two for your high-quality products to arrive.

The mason jar of almond milk had the best-by date, which was less than the grocery-store shelf date, but all the better. Without all of the processing and preservatives, the milk is so delicious, you’ll drink it all at once. Think fresh, clean, creamy, pure.

Time to place your order at Karmalize.me!

Be kind to yourself and others,
