Meet the Boss Women Behind the Products in the IWD Box!

Our community is filled with incredible women entrepreneurs and many businesses that I supported pre-Guelph Box were female owned without me even realizing. It has been so inspiring to get to know many of the Boss Babes of Guelph and we are so thankful for the opportunity to showcase them here!  If you have not ordered your IWD box yet, this is your sign to do it - for the ladies down below, for women supported through Women in Crisis and for championing women all around us.

Together We Write Stories Like This!

Sitting at my desk today, it sure does feel like Fall for one of the first times. School is starting back and like for many, September is a time of transition for charities as well. We are thrilled that 5% of our Fall Box sales are going to support Community of Hearts; a charity in Guelph that supports youth, adults and seniors with developmental exceptionalities to help them achieve the level of independence they desire.  We received this impact story from Connie; a participant in their social enterprise program. This is the impact that YOU support Guelph when you purchase a Fall Box! Together we help write theses stories.  When Connie first arrived at Community of Hearts in 2017, she was highly...

Imagine this. You’re headed to a concert tonight. You’ve been looking forward to it for weeks. The vibe, the dreamy singer, the people – it’s going to be a great time!

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little help to enjoy the show better?At Community Living Guelph Wellington, that little bit of help is exactly what we offer....

All you Need to Know About the Stay Local Box

We are SO excited about the launch of our brand new weekly box; the Stay Local Box! We had tons of fun designing this box for you and would love to give you all of the details on how it came to be and how you can get your hands on one.  Almost exactly three months ago we launched Guelph Box with no concept of the incredible support we would receive or knowledge of what it would become. We started things off with our weekly Local Favourites Box, a surprise box of a wide range of products from local vendors. Through this box and a few other feature boxes, we've been able to donate over $13,000 to charity and support...
