West Queen West is known for its strong community spirit. This holiday season, BareSkin Wax Bar is putting that spirit into action with a Holiday Donation Drive in support of Sistering: A Women’s Place. Sistering is a long-standing Toronto nonprofit that supports women and gender-diverse people who are experiencing poverty, housing insecurity, social isolation or trauma.
The drive runs until December 29. BareSkin Wax Bar is inviting the community to donate new hygiene items, pantry staples and warm winter essentials. Anyone who drops off a donation will receive 25 percent off their next service in December or January.
A Local Business Helping Women Across Toronto
BareSkin Wax Bar is collecting a variety of items that Sistering urgently needs during the winter season.
New hygiene items
• Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap
• Deodorant and lip balm
• Tampons, pads and adult diapers
Non perishable food
• Coffee, tea, sugar, pasta, rice
Warm winter essentials
• Socks, gloves, mittens and hats
Guests can walk into the wax bar and choose a tag from the giving tree. Each tag suggests a donation idea so shoppers can pick something simple and helpful. They can also check the wax bar’s social media for a full list of donation options.
Wrapping is optional. All items must be new.
Donations from the public help Sistering meet urgent needs during the coldest months of the year. All items collected at BareSkin Wax Bar will be delivered to Sistering at the end of December.
A Thank You for Donors
To recognize everyone who participates, the wax bar is offering 25% off your next service in December or January. The team will make a note of your donation when you drop it off.
It is a simple way to make an impact while also treating yourself during a very busy season.
