Shoutout and huge thanks to Heirloom Linens Canada for its donation of $500 from the sale of bamboo nightdresses in February.
Wear2Start was thrilled to be the chosen Charity of the Month at Heirloom Linens. The locally owned business in Broadmead Village Shopping Centre first opened in 1995. Since 2015, it has run a program called 12 Months of Giving. Each month, the store promotes an item, such as a sheet set, duvet or towels, with 50 per cent of the net profits from the sales of the item(s) going to the chosen “Charity of the Month.” In less than four years, Heirloom Linenes has donated more than $95,000 to local charities.
Not only did the store donate money to Wear2Start, but it also collected donations of clothing. Thanks to the customers who brought in bags and bags of lovely clothing for our clients.
So lucky to have such great support in the community. Thanks to all.
