Every Name Bubbles label is made with a little love – from parents selecting their designs and personalizing their child’s label to the caring team that works hard to make a great product. It was a goal of the company’s founder, Michelle Brandriss, to share that spark of happiness with organizations that work hard to make children’s lives better.
Labeled for Good was created in 2010, a year after Name Bubbles opened its online store, to give back and has been doing so ever since. Whether it's through monetary giving, volunteerism, or product donations, we like to think that our small business can help make a child’s day a little brighter and have selected nonprofits that support children’s health, happiness, and
education.
We would like you to meet our nonprofit partners and learn how your purchase of name labels for camp, daycare, or school will make a difference throughout the year during our different campaigns.

Blessings in a Backpack
A purchase of every school labels product will help support our giving commitment of $20,000 to Blessings in a Backpack, a nonprofit organization that raises money to provide food on the weekend for grade school children in the U.S. who may otherwise go hungry.
Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry. One in six American children may be struggling with access to food.
The consequences of hunger are much more than a growling stomach. Poor nutrition can result in a weaker immune system, increased hospitalization, lower IQ, shorter attention spans, and lower academic achievement. Children are fed during the school week by federal government programs. Blessings In A Backpack makes sure they’re getting nutritional meals over the weekend, too.
