A portion of every punkin online purchase is donated to support the Boys & Girls Club of Canada.

“The number of children at risk in our communities is increasing at an alarming rate. Youth violence, family poverty, substance abuse and school drop out are only a few of the challenges facing Canadian children. Currently, there are over 1 million Canadian children and youth living in poverty. This year, Boys and Girls Clubs will serve approximately 200,000 of these young people.

Boys and Girls Clubs provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build

positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life. There are 104 clubs in close to 700 communities across Canada giving kids a safe and caring place to go to. Clubs are located where they are most needed, in large city centres, remote rural locations and First Nations Reserves.

Support through donation helps to provide each child with, nutritious meals and snacks (1 million nutritious meals and snacks each year), educational support (homework assistance, scholarships, computer & job readiness training), physical activities and opportunities for creative expression,  access to caring adults who are good role models and mentor young people”. - www.bgccan.com
