Now MudLOVE sells its popular bracelets and classic mugs online, at various bookstores and gift shops, at its two retail locations—MudLOVE Downtown in Warsaw and Belove in Winona Lake—and makes custom mugs for local small businesses including Light Rail Coffee & Roaster, Tree of Life Bookstore and Cerulean.
Another way to spread the MudLOVE is through its fundraising program. Groups sell mugs and bracelets to raise money for any cause, from funding a new playground to paying adoption fees. “A lot of good comes out of that whole partnership,” says Wright. “It kind of doubles our impact. Even though we sell the product at a discounted price, we still raise money off each bracelet for Water for Good.”
In that same vein, MudLOVE recently partnered with Ben Higgins, Warsaw native and star of the popular reality TV show The Bachelor, and Humanity & Hope United Foundation to raise money to create jobs for people in impoverished areas of Honduras. Through the Get Hope. Give Hope. campaign, 50% of the proceeds from every “hope” bracelet sold goes to creating farming jobs for Hondurans in La Corosa or Remolina. The purchase of just one band creates one day of work for a Honduran man or woman and also provides one week of clean water for someone living in the Central African Republic.
