We at Oakland Unwrapped! are always on the lookout for ways to make it easier for people to shop with a conscience.

This issue, we’re highlighting Women’s Initiative’s Private Collection. Women’s Initiative is a local non-profit organization that helps women in the Bay Area support themselves and their families by starting and growing their own businesses. The Private Collection includes stationary, bags, scarves, soaps, jewelry and more from their client businesses.

Available online at http://womensinitiative.org. Also check out our growing list of socially-conscious shopping sites.
