Dear GEM Community:

It’s Giving Tuesday and as you begin purchasing gifts for the important people in your life, we’d like you to consider GEM’s Thoughtful Giving over this holiday season to support GEM.

This year, we’ve teamed up with The Toronto Apothecary, a wellness boutique + full-spectrum clinic in Toronto and Creemore, founded by Dr. Kate Hunter, ND. The Toronto Apothecary offers complimentary Naturopathic Medicine to marginalized folks, and exclusively carries Canadian lines focusing on Femme, Black, Indigenous and racialized creators and makers.

We’re also collaborating with Mother’s Garden Floral Design, a women-owned freelance floral design company based in Toronto, artfully creating modern custom arrangements and wedding and event florals. Mother’s Garden Floral Design is offering a special 10” Large Holiday Table Arrangement, along with a personalized note, and delivery in the GTA for $150 with 20% of proceeds from each order donated to GEM! Deliveries will be scheduled for your preference of of either December 8, 15^th or 22^nd on a first-come-first served basis.

GEM and the Toronto Apothecary have collaborated on three special gifts. With every gift bag purchased, 20% of the sale price will be donated to GEM.  

These bags make wonderful gifts for friends, family, co-workers, and clients. And they represent a gift that keeps on giving by providing support for GEM's vital programming.  

Thank you for your Thoughtful Giving, and for supporting GEM.
