Where do kids go when they have no place to go?
Seriously. Have you ever really thought about that? I have, because I know where they go. Abandoned houses. Dead end streets. Empty parking lots. Apartments where the parents aren't home.
Good stuff rarely happens when kids gather in these places. Poor ideas get passed around and bad decisions get made. Lacking a more experienced voice to say, "Hey, slow down. Let's think about this," teens can make some bad decisions. And that's how young lives get in trouble and head down the path to a bleak future.
"Where are the parents?"—that's the question some folks ask. And it's a good question, but there's never a simple answer. Sometimes the parents are at work or caring for a sick relative. But sometimes those parents are absent or strung out or in jail. But that's not even the most important question here, because if the parents are absent, then the kids are already tempted by trouble on the streets, and they need help.
And that's where Steve's Clubs come in. A safe place away from temptation. A place for kids to go when they have no place to go. A place where they can get away from the bad influences and get into a good space. A place where they can be part of a community, live a healthy lifestyle, and find mentors who are positive role models centering their lives on good works, clean food, and fitness.
But that's not easy. Steve's Clubs take time and money and that's where we come in. I talk to you all the time about Steve's PaleoGoods but it's not just because I think eating clean is the best way to stay healthy and relatively free of disease and medical troubles. I talk also because 15% of your purchases from Steve's PaleoGoods funds the work we do for these kids at Steve's Clubs around the nation. And that work is important. It's important to these kids and it's important to our communities and our nation. We need to take care of each other in our neighborhoods.
So, the next time you find yourself choosing between us and another Paleo product, it wouldn't hurt to remember what we do for those kids and what we stand for as a company. I'm trying to make a difference. I hope you are too. And, as always, thank you for your support. We couldn't do any of this without you.
