2010 Stocking Drive

November 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Dear friends,

Beauty Night Society is an award-winning registered charity that builds hope, trust and self-esteem in vulnerable women through life makeovers that include wellness, fitness, literacy, personal and leadership development. We would like to build a mutually beneficial partnership with your company to celebrate the beauty of all women.

On Christmas Eve 2009, thirty volunteers handed out 500 Christmas stockings to women living in poverty residing in shelters, health care facilities, transition homes in Vancouver, Toronto, and Prince George.

Hundreds of volunteers throughout the community make this event possible. Vancouver fashion designer Nancy Perreault designed the stocking. With 40 metres of donated fabric, high school textiles classes, fashion design students and Girl Guides sewed 500 Christmas stockings. Beauty Night Society volunteers filled them with donated hair, skin, dental and body care products.

This year we will more than double the number of recipients of Christmas stockings. On Christmas Eve 2010, 1,200 stockings created and decorated by children and youth will be handed out by Ms. Claus to women in shelters and transition homes.

You can be a part of this worthwhile program by donating new dental, nail, hair, skin and body care products to fill the 1200 stockings. Please refer to our website for information on this.

If you have any questions or would like additional information, I can be contacted at any time at carolinem@beautynight.org or 778-885-4526. More information on Beauty Night’s history and programs can be found at www.beautynight.org.

Old/Gently Used Cosmetics

June 25, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Many people offer to donate their old or gently used cosmetics. Health Safety Canada included a segment why cosmetics should not be resold at a garage sale:

Cosmetics – Used, old, or damaged cosmetics should never be sold. These products may contain harmful bacteria that could cause skin rashes or lead to infections. Additionally, second-hand cosmetics may be missing required labelling information, such as ingredients, warnings, and directions for safe use. A cosmetic is defined as a beauty preparation (make-up, perfume, skin cream, nail polish) or grooming aid (toothpaste, soap, shampoo, shaving cream, deodorant) used for cleansing, improving or altering the complexion, skin, hair or teeth.

Many of our makeover participants have HIV/AIDS and/or Hep C. Although we are grateful for community support, we can not accept donations of old or gently used cosmetics.
