If you’ve run with us, then you know how important giving back and sharing with our community is to us. That’s why this year we’re raising funds to put together care & hygiene kits to be distributed around the neighbourhoods we run in.

We’re accepting donations in $15 increments, the amount we’re estimating is needed to assemble 1 kit for 1 person.

So: 1 kit for $15. 2 kits for $30. 3 kits for $45…

Care & hygiene kits contain essential relief items for people living homeless. They can contain things such as toothbrushes, soap, tampons, socks, combs, lip balm, hand warmers, and other items which provide comfort to those enduring challenging conditions living outdoors in our winters.

Our plan is to bulk purchase these items with your donations to build out our kits and then we’ll work with neighbourhood shelters to distribute them.

Thanks as always for participating in our initiatives and being a part of what we’re building together here at Uptempo. We’re looking forward to celebrating the holidays with you soon.
