Green Earth Organics Thinks Outside the Box During the Holidays

There is a tremendous need in the private sector to step-up to the plate when it comes to corporate social responsibility. By considering the impact of their way of conducting business, organizations like Green Earth Organics are able to give back to communities by consciously selecting the activities they undertake.

During the month of December, Green Earth Organics is thinking outside the box as they facilitate a toy drive for child patients who are unable to be home for the holidays. To help put smiles back where they belong, gifts collected from Green Earth members will be donated to the B.C. Children’s Hospital.

To find out more information about this year's wish list, please see below. Please note, due to infection control policies, stuffed animals are not on the wish list this year. To learn more about the B.C. Children's Hospital check out www.bcchildrens.ca.
