Soap for Food Banks Project - Final Update for 2021
Since we first started our Soap for Food Banks project back in April 2020 as our company's response to COVID-19, we have donated 12,070 bars of 100% natural handmade soap (retail value of $69,402.50) to food banks throughout Canada and the USA with the support of our customers, staff, and volunteers. This total includes 3,020 soap bars donated by The Great Canadian Soap Co. to food banks throughout Prince Edward Island on behalf of all of our customers (that includes you!) plus 9,050 soap bars purchased directly by our customers and delivered to food banks of their choice throughout Canada and the USA.
Currently, we have almost completed our Soap for Food Banks project for this year with the sole exception of 500 remaining (most have already been shipped) soap bars that were purchased by our customers for specific food banks across Canada. Those 500 soap bars were poured earlier today and will be ready to ship out at the end of January. Once those 500 soap bars have been sent out, we will have delivered or shipped a total of 12,070 bars of 100% natural handmade soap to Food Banks throughout Prince Edward Island, the rest of Canada, and to the USA, since April 2020. Copied below are the pictures of our soap being delivered to food banks throughout Prince Edward Island this past month.
I would also like to graciously acknowledge the tremendous support we received from Grace Christian School in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Students and staff volunteered and organized themselves to hand wrap and box over 2,700 soap bars during December for our Soap for Food Banks project as part of the student's community service.
Finally, on behalf of myself, my family, and all of our staff here at The Great Canadian Soap Co., I would like to thank you for supporting our Soap for Food Banks project either directly by purchasing soap for specific food banks or by your past patronage and support of our small family business which has allowed us to donate soap to food banks on your behalf.
Sincerely,
Em Zember, President and Founder
The Great Canadian Soap Co.
