Additional Fundraising and Promotions!

Our costs are constantly increasing, this includes the basics like rent, heat, electricity, insurance, books, and learning resources. To balance this, we need your help. If you are able to support our FREE literacy programs, here are some additional ways you can contribute:

Nature’s Fare Receipts

Project Literacy is a member of the 3% club. Every time you shop at Nature’s Fare Markets, Nature’s Fare will donate 3% of the total (before tax) to Project Literacy. That can really add up!

How it works

  1. After shopping at Nature’s Fare be sure to keep your receipts.
  2. Bring your receipt into Project Literacy at 1635 Bertram Street and slip it into the receipt box.
  3. Spread the word! Tell friends and family
  4. Project Literacy will receive a cheque for 3% of the total receipts as a tax-free donation!

Return-It Recyclables

How does it work?

  • Project Literacy has a Return-It Express account.
  • Print Project Literacy labels at the bag label kiosk using Passcode: 250-762-2163.
  • Place your unsorted containers in a clear or transparent bag and tag your bags, one tag per bag.
  • At the Express and GO station, text your Express & Go Passcode to 778-400-5253, receive your one-time PIN to open the door, drop off your bags, and GO!
  • Returns will be sorted and counted and credited to the Project Literacy Express account!

Keurig Cup Drop Off

We now have a Keurig coffee maker at our Learning Centre and are so pleased to offer our tutors and learners coffee and tea, during their lessons. Should you wish to donate keurig cups, please drop them off at our Project Literacy at 1635 Bertram Street.

Thank you for supporting literacy in the Central Okanagan!
