Delicious treats, lifestyle products, and more can be found in the bags representing more than 85 local businesses in Bloorcourt, Bloordale Village, Ossington, Queen St. West, College Promenade, Riverside, and the Trinity Bellwoods. And all items are all vegetarian-friendly.
Since co-founders Nick Milum and Derek Liu launched Bag of Toronto in Spring 2020 in response to the pandemic, more than 90 partner businesses have been supported with over $100,000 in revenue generated. Over 1750 bags were sold during Spring 2020, Holidays 2020, and Valentine’s Day 2021 editions, which helped raise $6,500 for hyper-local charities in each neighbourhood.
