Giving Keys

Giving Keys were created to be a different way to spread hope and inspire others. Necklaces, rings and bracelets are created to send to people that you believe need something beneficial and more in their life. The start of the Giving Keys company was founded by Caitlin Crosby when she started wearing hotel keys around her neck and engraving them. She wanted to pass along the keys and have their purpose to be renewed over and over again. She then found Rob and Cera, homeless on the streets of Hollywood one night and asked them to dinner, where she found out Cera made jewelry. The three worked together to create the Giving Keys. The couple saved enough money to finally have a home to call their own. Now, the company has employed 28 people who have struggled with homelessness, and helped 22 people move into permanent housing. While helping people find jobs, the Giving Keys products’ pure meaning is to give to someone which needs help and once they are strong enough they can pass their key along. If you receive a key, you can keep it until you feel that its use is done, then share your story of struggle and how you have overcome it with the Giving Key in hand on their website.

Not all great products and apps are high-tech gadgets and gizmos, but products created to help others when you use them. Lend a helping hand and pay it forward with these charity apps and products that give back to the world and community!
