This month's winner of our Conscious Choice award is The Vitamin Shoppe, a specialty retailer of supplements and health products that is intensifying its efforts to fight multiple sclerosis and inviting you to help. You can hook up with one of 30 "Team Vitamin Shoppe" groups across the country for a Bike MS or Walk MS event in your hometown this summer or fall; profits go to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. (See teamvitaminshoppe.com.) On a separate front, Vitamin Shoppe is allying with Vitamin Angels, a nonprofit group that uses nutritional supplements to fight childhood blindness in developing countries (vitaminangels.org). Last year Vitamin Shoppe's donations helped 600,000 kids in need.
