As we've stated before, Out of My Head is strongly committed to charitable giving and has a mission of donating 10% of our profits to charities that support children. As we have yet to make an an actual monetary profit but are still committed to philanthropy, past recipients of merchandise donations have included La Leche League, Chrysalis Place Food Cupboard, The Family Violence Project, The Salvation Army Holiday Giving Fund, Toys for Tots, The Maine Children's Home for Little Wanderers, The Maine Association of Certified Professional Midwives and The Inside Out Playground (as well as numerous school and community fundraisers).
