Since our inception in 2001, we have donated 10% of our net income to Jen’s Friends Cancer Foundation, a local organization that helps uninsured individuals & their families during their battles with cancer. We also donate 300 bars of soap to our local food bank – Vaughan Community Services – at Thanksgiving each year and over $2000 in product donations to 15 local not-for-profits for fundraisers.

As a general rule, Southland Soap donates 10% of our gross income-not net or profits. As a company I feel helping others is my primary purpose for being so not only do I do the best I can as far as product invention and sales, but also donate heavily as far as shampoo bars and cash.

We donated lots and lots of soap to hurricane Sandy, the county Mission, churches and to fundraisers! Can’t wait to do more next year.

We donate to our local food pantry at church: homemade bar soaps and laundry soaps. We also make and donate cake mixes, brownie mixes etc, for the pantry.

We donate soap to various holiday baskets via our clinic & community center which are given out to those in need locally, also to the county food bank. Non- soap donations include a percentage of sales to Heifer International and, additionally, we plat a tree through ‘Trees for the Future’ for every 12 soaps sold. Every little bit helps.

We donated soap to three charities this December: Hurricane Sandy victims, a local family sending soap and other toiletries to an outreach in Guatemala, and a charity in Virginia for low-income youth to pick out gifts for their families (lots of soap and body creams).
