The No Cold Shoulder Donation Mailer Bag is Resealable & Biodegradable

— October 26, 2020 — Social Good
Outerwear brand Nobis is launching the No Cold Shoulder campaign in November to upcycle gently worn winter jackets and make sure that Canadians in need get appropriate gear to keep them warm this winter. Consumers can participate by picking up a resealable and biodegradable donation mailer bag at Nobis or a participating retail location. As part of the campaign, there are also No Cold Shoulder beanies and enamel pins that will be available as other ways for people to offer their support without making a donation.

As Robin Yates, VP and co-founder of Nobis, states: "Even during an exceptionally challenging year, people are looking for ways to help. We want to make it easier than ever for Canadians to participate and provide warmth to children, families, and individuals in need with the No Cold Shoulder program."
