Stay Home Toronto mask

The social active Toronto company, Peace Collective, "Helps you look good while giving back to the causes you believe in." During lockdown Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared on daily television urging Canadians to "stay home" to stop the spread of COVID-19. Peace Collective reiterated the Government’s request with "Stay Home" masks with a 1-1 model. With each purchase one mask was given to frontline workers, resulting in over 20,000 mask donations. As COVID-19 continued, the company shifted its efforts to local foodbanks, with the sales of one garment giving back 3 meals to Canadian foodbanks.
