🪙 Why Local Pickup Makes the Toonie Sticker of the Month Club Better for Oshawa

The Toonie Sticker of the Month Club is about more than receiving a new sticker each month. It is about creating a simple and ethical way to raise funds for Wellness Without Barriers Oshawa while creating additional benefits throughout our community.

That is why local pickup at participating small businesses makes sense.

📬 Why not simply mail every sticker?

When membership is only $2 per month, mailing costs can take up a significant portion of that contribution. Once postage, envelopes and other mailing supplies are considered, much less of that Toonie is left to support what we are trying to build.

Our goal is to raise funds responsibly. By reducing unnecessary expenses, more of every contribution can stay right here in our community.

🏪 Local pickup creates another ripple.

Participating small businesses can provide convenient pickup locations without creating a major additional expense for the program.

Each monthly pickup also gives someone another reason to walk through the door of a local Oshawa business. They might discover a business they have never visited, return to one they already enjoy, or tell someone else about it.

That creates more reach, engagement and community connections for participating businesses.

❤️ One simple idea creates several benefits:

• Members have an affordable $2 way to participate.
• More of the money raised can support Wellness Without Barriers Oshawa.
• Participating businesses gain additional community exposure and potential foot traffic.
• Supporters have another opportunity to discover and support local businesses.
• We reduce unnecessary expenses while keeping more of the benefits within Oshawa.

There doesn't always need to be another expense attached to creating something valuable. Sometimes the smarter approach is finding ways for everyone involved to benefit.

🌱 And This Is Only the Beginning

The Toonie Sticker of the Month Club is our starting point.

As we grow, we plan to introduce additional Sticker Club options, including $5 sticker packs and $10 sticker packs, with mailing options available for people who prefer or need them.

We are starting small, learning what works and building responsibly.

This is the ground floor of something we believe can create some amazing new benefits for our community of Oshawa — connecting supporters, local small businesses, positive messages and community wellness through one growing campaign.

One Toonie. One sticker. One local pickup. More ripples staying right here in Oshawa. 💙
