Soul Sustenance: Faithbox

Carving out a niche in the recent subscription box trend, Faithbox meets growing consumer demand by focusing on three unique components: growth, discovery and giving. For the holidays, Faithbox will offer a single purchase box, in addition to their regular subscriber box, specifically designed to be used as Christmas gifts for loved ones.
 
The single purchase Christmas box will have subscriber favorites including: Giving Keys, Faith key necklace, World Hope donation gift cards, KeepCup Sustainable Mug and a devotional. The Christmas subscriber box will feature products around the theme of giving and will include Mitscoots socks, handmade ornament from Anchored in Hope,Project 7 Cinnamon Chocolate mints, World Hope donation gift cards and scripture magnets from FaithLife amongst other surprises.
 
After a soft launch late last year, Faithbox has already shipped more than 10,000 boxes to customers. Each box includes a devotional book with reflections, daily mediations, Bible verses or suggestions for acts of kindness. Faithbox partners with quality companies to include handpicked products in each box that are eco-friendly and fair-trade such as SoapBox Soaps, Smiles for the People toothbrushes, Blue Planet sunglasses, THX coffeeand Mitt Scootssocks.
 
"At Faithbox we are doing something different, something that will make a difference and something that will help consumers make a difference,"said Willie Morris, founder and CEO of Faithbox. "Faithbox is a product people can trust and certainly one that is 'good for the soul.'"
 
For every box purchased, a hungry child is fed through a partnership with Rice Bowls. Already the partnership has provided 30,000 meals and is estimated to contribute 10,000 meals per month moving forward. In addition, many of the companies whose products are featured in Faithbox make one-to-one charitable contributions. This combination makes Faithbox inspirational, practical and philanthropic.
 
Research shows consumers are becoming more educated and aware about the products and companies they support. A 2015 study by Good Must Grow found that 32 percent of Americans are planning to spend more with companies who are socially responsible, and 64 percent confirmed the importance of buying from socially responsible companies.
 
"The American consumer has already shown it appreciates the monthly box service; we want to take that a step further to give them the sustainable products about which they care,"said Morris. "We also pay attention to underlying reasons they want those products, which is to be a better world citizen and to respect God's people and his creation."
 
Morris was raised in the Catholic Church, became an atheist during college, and found his way back to God while working with a non-profit organization and seeing its work and impact. Morris started Faithbox to make a positive impact through simple actions and help others enrich their faith.

Faithbox offers month-to-month, three-month or one-year subscriptions. The company made its soft launch in late 2014 and has seen steady growth since its inception. This unique box was recently featured in The New York Times, Bloomberg and Fox and Friends. For additional information, visit http://www.faithbox.com.
