About US

Founded in Kingston, Ontario, this initiative was created to help small businesses connect directly with the communities they serve.

By combining local reach with a collaborative model, it offers affordable advertising, real exposure, and strong ROI for everyone involved.

As it expands to more cities across Canada, the goal is to build partnerships with businesses that are equally committed to giving back — through initiatives like providing meals to students, supporting youth sports, or helping local families in need.
