Jockey Being Family is Jockey's (yes the underwear company) corporate citizenship initiative dedicated to providing newly adoptive families a place to turn when they need a helping hand. Everyday I hear about a large corporation announcing a "Citizenship Initiative" and I applaud each and everyone of them. The Jockey citizenship effort caught my eye and hit a little closer to home - I was adopted at birth.

Jockey Coupons According to the Jockey website - their mission is to engage employees in meaningful volunteer activities; raise awareness of the need for post-adoption services; and build recognition of Jockey's corporate citizenship.

Parents who have adopted, particularly those who have adopted children with known special needs, often have times when they need extra help. Post-adoption services that Jockey provides adoptive families include critical information, understanding and support necessary to strengthen their bonds.

These services are provided through individual and group work with community-based organizations and include:

* Respite care
* Parent support groups
* Referrals to medical professionals

But, due to lack of funding and general awareness, the provision of these post-adoption services, vital for newly formed families, is a great unmet need. Kudos to Jockey for this wonderful program.

Jockey's product line now include: 3D-Contours, Classics Comfies, Elance, Jockey-Silks, Natural Shaping Bras, No Panty Line Promise, Padded Shaping Bras and Ultimates.

They carry Plus-sizes (Queen they call them) and one of their best sellers is the Jockey Queen Elance: "Our Elance brief collection knows your body.
