Our Work in the Community
The Epicurean Shea Butter Company strives to make a positive impact in community and our environment. With this focus, Epicurean proudly supports organizations in our local communities with donations of cash, books and products.

While we feel that there are many groups that contribute greatly to our community, Epicurean has chosen to support very specific organizations. These organizations include those who offer assistance to those in our community with lower than average incomes and those with limited access to some of the most basic necessities.

Currently we support Baltimore Reads, an organization with a mission to help educationally disadvantaged adults and families improve their quality of life and self-sufficiency through strong literacy and job training programs. To date, we have donated over 5,000 books for their reading programs.

We have also worked exclusively with Goodwill Industries International, North America’s leading nonprofit provider of education, training, and career services for people with disadvantages, such as welfare dependency, homelessness, and lack of education or work experience, as well as those with physical, mental and emotional disabilities, to provide us with local personnel to staff our operation.

We are also involved with the Hands on DC network which gathers organizations and individuals together to paint and beautify public schools in the Washington, DC area as well as career mentoring with the Maya Angelou Public Charter School and Anacostia High School.

We feel that social responsibility goes hand in hand with our manufacturing responsibility to produce the finest bath and body care products available. The Epicurean Shea Butter Company is committed to making our communities better places to live.
