As a social enterprise, giving back is core to everything that we do. This year charitable organizations that typically rely on in-person gift drives to provide gifts for the less fortunate are facing a challenge due to safety concerns because of COVID-19. That’s why we’re teaming up with the Shoebox Project Ottawa to provide boxes full of items from the "Holiday Wish List" at the Cornerstone Women’s Shelter to women in need this holiday season.
Some of the items in the boxes include:
- Nail polish
- Activity books
- Water bottles
- Travel mugs
- Journals
- Pens
- & more!
Our goal is to make it easy for members of the community who would typically donate to gift drives to spread joy to those in need this holiday season. Sending a gift to a woman at Cornerstone is as easy as purchasing one of the two special gift boxes from our website and writing a meaningful message to the recipient.
From there, we’ll pack the gifts and deliver them to Cornerstone just in time for Christmas.
