Brad Spence bakes biscotti to benefit vets; table linens for the planet
Feel good about your table linens, too These table linens, a collaboration of West Elm, Whole Foods Market, and a Guatemalan textile group called the New Denim Project, are worthy of the sustainably produced, organic food you'll serve on them. They're made of 50 percent recycled cotton, and $1 from each purchase will go to the Whole Planet Foundation, which partners with microlending organizations around the world. - Samantha Melamed

Biscotti for boxing vets
Vetri culinary director Brad Spence makes some extremely good biscotti - hard, but not tooth-breakingly so, made with organic spelt flour and laced with good-quality dark chocolate. Better yet, he's selling it for a great cause: to raise money for his Fatback Boxing, a program he started to serve veterans. Right now, and for the next week, if you buy it on the website LocalStove.com, all proceeds will go to Fatback Boxing - plus, LocalStove and Tito's Handmade Vodka will each match your $5 purchase with a donation to the program.
