1.  If I purchase a bottle of Sozo Wine what will I do for others?

Each Sozo product has a medallion on the label which specifies the number of meals provided. For example, a “5 Lives” product contributes 5 meals for orphans, widows or homeless people who lack basic needs. A “25 Lives” product supplies 25 meals.

 

2.  How does Sozo provide for the needs of the poor?

Sozo partners with not-for-profit organizations who are actively working to provide for the basic needs of others. The money received from product sales is distributed to these organizations by the Sozo Foundation. The work of the Sozo Foundation is to distribute money and monitor results.

 

3.  How can I and my friends feed more people?

Throw a party! Everyone likes a party and when you use Sozo products your party is both fun and meaningful. Your event will provide meals for 25-250 people who lack basic needs and will introduce your guests to helping a cause of your choice.

 

4.  What is the cost of meals for people who lack basic needs?

The Sozo Foundation reimburses at a rate of $.30 per meal. It does so for both domestic and international people with needs. Our research has found that the actual cost to provide a meal for an orphan or widow overseas, or a homeless person in the United States ranges from $.22 to $.38 cents per meal. In almost all examples this cost is subsidized by volunteers who gather, sort, bag and ship or deliver at no charge. Sozo is part of the chain that puts food on the plates of the hungry.
