At Gathering Place Trading Giving Back is central to what we do. It was one of the reasons we founded our company and a core value that continues today.
Global Support in 2020
We are happy to share that our total donations for 2020 was $7800. We ‘give back’ to Grassroots Projects in the countries we import from, as well as our local community and organizations protecting our precious BC Coast. Below is a list of the projects that we donated to last year!
