Giving Back
Update: Feb 2023
We know that each and every request we receive supports a wonderful cause and we are honored to be included in so many great initiatives. Due to the overwhelming number of requests we receive each year, we have developed a list of eligibility criteria.
Important: We will not accept any applications made in person or over the phone
We are most likely to support requests that:
- Focus on children and youth in need
- Support feeding less fortunate persons
- Foster community growth that benefits families and children in our store communities in Strathcona and Kitsilano
- Support food and cooking
We do not support requests that are:
- Requested on short notice
- Fundraising for individuals or for profit businesses
- Outside of the Vancouver lower mainland
- Political organizations
- Organizations that discriminate
Unfortunately we are unable to support organizations such as sports teams and schools due to the sheer number of requests we receive. We believe it would be unfair to support one person, team or school and not the other.
HOW TO CONTACT US
To help us make a decision regarding your charitable event, please fill out the Charitable Donation Request Form. We can then review your application and make a decision.
Requests can also be made by mail.

Decision Process
We meet monthly to review all donation requests. Incomplete forms will not be considered. Organizations are limited to one donation per calendar year.
We wish to thank you for taking the time to read our guidelines and using our forms. Due to the large volume of requests we receive, only those applicants selected will be contacted.
Sincerely,
Allison Spurrell
