Back To Giving

🥰🥰🥰

The phrase that inspired Mikayla to start her Christmas campaign - maybe it will inspire you as well this Christmas Season.
By my calculation Back to Giving is only accepting donations for 4 more days! If you are interested in getting involved make sure to send Back To Giving a message ASAP!

So grateful for Behind the Give Button for giving me the opportunity to spread the message about Back to Giving! Give the podcast a listen and let me know what you think!! 🤍

Amazing update 🥰

The lovely gal who runs has decided to help us out this year with ! 🤍

Millers Farmhouse candles are handmade with love by a local small business. Supporting eachother during these tough times is so important, so Millers Farmhouse will be donating 15% of the proceeds from each purchase to Back to Giving 💛

Their candles not only smell amazing, but make amazing Christmas gifts - all while supporting local this year 🥰

Hi friends!! ❄️❄️❄️ please read 🥰 it’s that time of year again ... this is the 4th year of Back to Giving + I’m SO excited!!

For those who don’t know, is my non profit organization that puts together backpacks for the homeless.

This year has been a difficult year for so many people - especially the homeless community. Homelessness is at an all time high since the pandemic. This is the time to do something about it 💛

There are so many people who don’t have the basic necessities of life - let alone something to open on Christmas morning. Let’s all make their holiday season a little more merry ☺️🎄

The past 3 years of this has been incredible - we’ve built such an amazing community of people who are so willing to help/donate. I’m so thankful for all of you!

This year the donations will be made to various shelters around the Alliston and Barrie area including Alliston Out of the Cold + The Busby Centre. Donations will also be made to other shelters as well as handed out by hand to those in need in Toronto

SWIPE over of a list of items I’m most in need of this year 🥰

I accept physical item donations (listed on next slide) as well as monetary donations via etransfer + cash

Send me a message if you want to donate - on any of the following 3 pages: (organization’s page) (my personal page) or (my business’ page)

Thank you so much friends + let’s make this the best year yet 🥰🎄❄️

A thank you letter from for the donations of backpacks over the Christmas holiday!
Thank you to everyone who helped us make this possible by donating, dropping off items, bringing them to the centre with us or even just sending a supportive message. This couldn’t have been done without your help 🥰
The rest of your monetary donations were given to Alliston Out of the Cold! They were equally as grateful for all your help.
I can’t wait for next winter for all of us to make an even bigger impact together 💕🎄

Today with the help of Josh from Air Source Home Comfort we delivered 10 backpacks to the David Busby Centre in Barrie. Everyone should have something to open on Christmas morning! These are just the first few of many to be distributed this winter!

Merry Christmas everyone🥰🎄🎒

Thank you so much to everyone who donated to Back to Giving this year! Between etransfers, the Facebook fundraiser and cash, we raised $4,182!! This was our biggest year yet.

From $400 the first year (only 2 years ago) to $4000 this year, you all made this possible and I’m so grateful 🥰
•
So far we have put 10 backpacks together and those will be brought to the shelter in Barrie today so some have something to open Christmas morning!
The remainder of the bags will be distributed in Toronto and Barrie during January and February to ensure we reach people throughout the entire winter season! We will keep everyone updated with where their generous donations are going!
Thank you again everyone ✨💕🎄
Merry Christmas!

A few of my public school teachers got their students to write the sweetest Christmas cards for the backpacks 🥰 How cute is this! 💕

Hi friends!!

This is the 3rd year of Back to Giving!! 🎄💗🎒

Thank you so much for reading/visiting/taking interest I appreciate all of you!

There are a lot of people out in the cold this time of year who don’t have some of the basic necessities of life, let alone receive anything to open on Christmas morning. .
So excited that once again I’ll be putting backpacks together for men, women, and children in need. Some of them will be donated by hand locally in Toronto and others will go directly to Alliston Out of the Cold and My Sister’s Place (a local women’s shelter)

If anyone would like to donate any of the following items and make a difference, I would appreciate it so much! 💗

The most needed items are:
SOCKS!!!, underwear, hats, gloves, scarves, long johns, long sleeves/turtle necks (anything you’d need in winter to keep you warm)

Toothpaste, toothbrush, mouth wash, deodorant, soap, body wash, moisturizer, washcloths, razor, ear plugs, hand wipes

Feminine hygiene supplies

$10-$20 Tim Hortons, McDonald’s, etc gift cards

Small children’s gifts (toys, colouring books etc), pens and small pads of paper

Non-perishable food items, filling snacks, reusable water bottles, can openers, mugs, packs of instant coffee/tea bags etc

First aid supplies, blankets

Christmas notes/letters/cards to let those who are facing difficulties know that someone is thinking about them this Christmas 💗 (this means so much to people)

Send me a message on social media ( on Instagram, (personal account, or This page), or a text at 705 890 0484 if you are interested in donating any of the supplies above. If finding time to shop would be a problem, I’ll gladly use any donations to do all the shopping myself for the backpacks!!

Last year I raised over $1,500 and this year I’d love to top that! Even $5 helps! If you prefer to give monetary donations they can be E-transferred to my email [email protected]
Thank you so much to everyone who donated for the past two years and helped out...I’m so grateful! without your help this wouldn’t be possible again this year! 💓
