Sure enough, they were here again yesterday to donate the proceeds of their jeans day. Each division across Canada is participating. To participate, the employee contributes $5 and then founder Bryan Brulotte matches that donation. Each division picks the local charity they want to deal with.
With vacation season over, most workplaces are at full staffing. Now is the time to start your own workplace campaign.
Here are some ideas.
Jeans Day: Okay, I didn't have to think too hard to come up with this one. You know how this works.
Bake Sale Day: Another great way to make Fridays more fun. Everyone can make cookies or some sort of sweet which can be sold throughout the day. If you're a business that has people visiting, let them in on it. It's a great way for you to show off your community spirit to people you probably want to do business with.
Crazy Hat day: Pick a day and let people wear whatever hat they like. Maybe it's an old fashion fedora, a ball cap or a colourful toque. The beauty of this one is it's really easy to put the hat aside if you have to go into an important meeting with visitors. Enjoy some of the crazy hat photos I found on the Internet.
Coffee Day: Take one day a week and donate the proceeds of your coffee fund.
If you need some inspiration or would like to know how your donation impacts so many lives, please contact me at asilverman@shepherdsofgoodhope.com or 613-789-8210, ext. 247.
