How #MisoCorgiClaus Saved Christmas

T’was the night before Giving Tuesday, November 30th, 2020, and Miso turned to me and said, 

“The Grinch has stolen so much in 2020, we can’t let ‘em steal Christmas!” 

And you know what, that sweet corgi was right!

We reached out to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre and they let us know they needed help getting donations for holiday gift bags for families.

We shared it with our pals on social media and things snowballed in the best possible way!

We shared everything they needed on their wishlist and some sweet elves sent some eTransfers so we could go purchase the items they needed:

Hundreds of folks came together and sent in donations and in the end, we were able to fill our whole van, Van Morrison, full of new toys, games, books, self-care products, thousands of gift cards, and more!

Special thanks to our friends at Best Buy, A&W Canada, and London Drugs for all the generous gift cards! To our friends at the Holden Foundation for your generous donation:

And to our pals at the Vancouver Aquarium / Marine Mammal Rescue Centre for donating all these adorable stuffies and filling Van Morrison up:

Big thanks to Miso’s BFF DANTA for spreading cheer and spreading the word, and picking up so many donations!
