"CAUSE: Caitlin Crosby (who you may recognize from MTV's The Hard Times of RJ Berger) started The Giving Keys after she met a homeless couple on Hollywood Boulevard. Eager to turn her side project of making key necklaces into a charitable endeavor, Caitlin partnered with the couple to engrave inspirational words and sell the jewelry. She's created jobs for the homeless and supported shelters and transitional homes.\n\nEFFECT:  The homeless couple that Caitlin originally partnered with is living in a transitional home, working, and taking college classes. Caitlin now employs fifteen people who are living in a homeless shelter, and her necklaces are sold at Fred Segal and 40 stores around the country. Her employees have made around $40,000 from sales of about 8,000 keys.\n\nGET INVOLVED: Purchase a customized necklace online or at selected retail stores. Caitlin encourages people to 'pay it forward' and eventually give their necklace to someone in need of support or inspiration. You can find stories of why people gave away their necklaces here."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
