VG4A’s fundraiser
Tru-Earth
VG4A has partnered with Tru Earth for a fundraising initiative that is “No Touch”―no effort for anyone on our team. Tru Earth is a Vancouver-based, environment-friendly company that sells laundry eco-strips while keeping plastic bottles out of the landfill. Other products include disinfecting multi-surface cleaning strips, bamboo cutlery, and beeswax food wrap. We believe this is a fundraiser that will interest many of our members, just click this link

place your order, and it will be delivered to your home. VG4A will receive 20 percent of each sale. We will be raising funds for VG4A and saving the environment with just a click.
Be sure to order through the VG4A link above, not the Tru-Earth website
We acknowledge with gratitude that for thousands of years the Coast Salish peoples have walked gently on the unceded territories where we now live, work and play. Like our parent organization the Stephen Lewis Foundation, we are committed to the principles of social justice, equality, and solidarity with community-based partners as they face the continued effects of the HIV and AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa. We realize that HIV has also disproportionately affected Canada’s Indigenous peoples. Consistent with our values, whenever possible we move beyond land acknowledgements and make efforts to understand, discuss and reconcile past and current injustices.
