With January already in the rearview mirror, we’re headed into the season of red hearts and Cupid’s arrows with an exciting campaign. Savings.com is once again teaming up with Smile Farms, a nonprofit organization that works to create meaningful jobs within the agriculture and hospitality industries for adults with developmental disabilities. Many of these individuals have never worked before.

Smile Farm’s 375 Smile Farmers work on one of 12 campuses around New York state, growing food for food-insecure communities, local farmers markets, meal delivery services for homebound individuals, and much more. Smile Farms has also piloted a program where individuals with disabilities train to work kitchen prep in high-end restaurants. Sounds like an organization to throw some love at, right?

As with every featured charity, we’ll get this SavingsCARES campaign started by donating $5,000 to Smile Farms, so they can continue the amazing work they do. But we want you to be able to share the love, too. That’s why we’re also including additional donations from our participating brands offering SavingsCARES deals. Support Smile Farms when you shop at our fabulous campaign partners, Cupshe, Bluebella, and Airport Parking Reservations.

When you shop using Savings.com coupons from these select retailers, you can feel great about saving money and supporting the SavingsCARES featured charity!

Smile Farms and Heat With Heart™

One of Smile Farms’ most successful initiatives is their famous, locally-grown hot sauce. Named “Heat with Heart™," the sweet and spicy condiment is made from over 5,400 pounds of peppers harvested by Smile Farmers, with over 17,000 bottles of Heat with Heart™ made to date.

Smile Farms aims to change perceptions — and lives — one bottle of hot sauce at a time. Every purchase of a bottle of Heat with Heart™ helps individuals with disabilities earn a salary and gain experience in a practical work environment. Plus, their work gives them the chance to socialize and foster new relationships with their coworkers.

Did You Know?

In the U.S., 61 million adults – that’s one in four – live with a disability.
A disabled person is more than three times less likely to be employed than someone without a disability.
83% of disabilities develop later in life, during prime employment years.
