2020 Initiatives

2020

Our aim is to broaden the scope of our contributions as we grow.
Let's create CHANGE together!
 
Non-medical Face Mask Donations

Eco Chic Boutique created non-medical, reusable masks with one goal:
to make them accessible and affordable to all Niagara area residents.

We've partnered with Eco Chic to make masks available for only $5 each.
If you cannot afford this, please contact Eco Chic Boutique directly!

$1 from each sale will be donated to the Niagara Health Foundation.
Let's help Niagara be a safe & healthy place for all.
As of July 1, 2020: $250 has been donated!


Local Pandemic Health Care Fundraiser
Please do what you can to stay safe and healthy during these unprecedented times. As a community, working together will help us achieve our goal of flattening the curve.
$4 from each bangle set will be donated to local emergency health care initiatives helping to save lives.
