Give a lot, give a little, just give.

At Gida Bavari, we believe it is important to give back to the community.  In doing so, we have created The Bavari Basket Fund.  Partners Gida Batista and Paula Sallaberry use these funds to create food baskets loaded with nonperishable nutritional foods that are then delivered to local food centers and soup kitchens in NYC.  These baskets help feed many needy children and adults that are looking for a helping hand until they get back on their feet. Before launching The Bavari Basket Fund, partners Gida and Paula were donating their personal funds and spare time to working with various food banks.  This rewarding experience has led to the creation of The Bavari Basket Fund.

Why Bavari Baskets?

The NYC and State Report on Hunger in America 2006 sited that a substantial number of those individuals living below the poverty line are children. Specifically in 2006, children represented about 348,000 in NYC, 630,000 children in NY State and, nine million children in the U.S. who rely on emergency food. With the recent downturn in our economy the numbers have increased making it even more important that we get involved in helping those less fortunate. No child should go hungry in our country. As we grow our business we hope to expand our Bavari Basket Fund to other communities throughout the country, as well as collaborate with international food relief organizations.  Help us realize this dream!

A portion of the featured items’ sales will go toward providing food baskets for the needy families in NYC area.  By purchasing this featured handbag, you will help Gida Bavari feed the needy children in our community.
