One of the fundamental principles of philanthropy is giving back. But this does not always have to be in the for of money. Youth shelters are always in need of various items. The less money that a shelter can spend on personal hygiene products or clothes, the more they can spend on housing and food for the young people they serve nightly. By realizing this need, youth can mobilize and bring about great change within the community.

Good Movement holds two donation drives each year.

Cram the Cauldron Hygiene Drive

During the Month of October, Good Movement held its ‘Cram the Cauldron’ Hygiene Drive. We are proud to say that it was a huge success. We donated over 1000 items!

Of this list, we had:

• 172 bars of soap
• 158 toothbrushes
• 70 bottles of lotion
• 60 bottles of shampoo
• hundreds of other hygiene products

We would like to say thank you to everyone who contributed. Without you, Good Movement would not be the success that it has grown to be. Our Place Peel appreciated the donations, and you have all contributed to the betterment of youth lives within Peel Region. Our gratitude knows no bounds.

The Warmth Project

For the winter months of 2011 and 2012, the Good Movement executive team gathered donations for the Warmth Project — a warm clothing drive for Blue Door Shelter. Initially, this warm clothing drive started as a York Region initiative. The Good Movement @ York Team took the lead, and most of the donations came from the York University community.
As the weeks went on, and the weather began to dip — it was clear that everyone wanted to contribute to the project. So, it expanded. And kept expanding. We eventually had two drop offs.
