In a series of tweets by the company's social media account, Magnolia Market announced that all profits from sales made over the weekend would be donated to organizations helping victims and their families as well as the communities impacted by the tragedies.
"This past week's events were incredibly difficult. We cannot begin to comprehend the loss that the communities in Texas, Ohio, California and Mississippi must be feeling," the message read. "Our hearts are breaking and we feel the need to quickly offer whatever tangible support we can."
