Giving Back
A strong part of our mission is to help those in need. We began donating meals to the United Nations World Food Program in 2021, and as of December 31, 2022, we've donated over 1600 meals to children in need worldwide. The World Food Programme is the food assistance branch of the United Nations. It is the world's largest humanitarian organization focused on hunger and food security and the largest provider of school meals.
The Shoebox Project for Women was founded in 2011, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada by four sisters. They had noticed that there were many opportunities to provide gifts to children experiencing homelessness during the holiday season, but there were no such gift drives for their mothers. Wanting to make the holiday season a little brighter for some local women in their community, they decided to ask friends and acquaintances to fill a Shoebox with gifts for the holidays – some little luxuries that would bring a smile to any woman's face.
