Pendery’s World of Chiles and Spices, a family-owned-and-operated store in Fort Worth since 1870, partnered with Equest to provide a one-stop online shopping site for Father’s Day Gifts with a cause. From graphic socks and coffee mugs to cookbooks and cooking utensils, plus some additional horse-centric items, one can find a gift for every type of dad . . . even ones who have everything! 100 percent of proceeds will benefit Equest, a nonprofit that provides equine assisted activities and therapies to the special needs community and veterans. Start shopping at https://www.charity.ebay.com/charity/Equest/2411749.

Equest’s partnership with the legendary Pendery’s is truly fitting for Father’s Day. Equest Board Member Clint Haggerty is the store’s general manager and great-great grandson of founder Dewitt Clinton Pendery, the Godfather of Chili Powder. The company continues to sell the original ‘Chiltomaline’ mixture in addition to hundreds of spices, spice mixes, kitchen items, and more.
