Wrapping up 2021!

To our dear clients, new and existing:

As the holidays approach we at Nivali Skin would like to take this opportunity to express how blessed we feel by our clients and how grateful we are not only to them, but our community as a whole.

During another "interesting" year we have seen this community pull together in so many different ways. We have shown our clients how much we value our relationship with them by introducing our new Loyalty Program, and we want to take it a step further by reaching out to those in need in our city as well.

This year, in lieu of sending Christmas cards to all our clients, Nivali Skin will be making donations to several local organizations that do so much to help so many. We wanted to highlight some of these incredible organizations and what they do for our community!

Firstly, we will be supporting and providing a donation to Glad Tidings Church, who's large community outreach has been ongoing for many years. We have a personal connection to the church, their mission, and the good that they do!

We will also be supporting Our Place Society, an amazing organization that provides food, shelter, and numerous other means of support to those who need it.

Our Place Society has been a staple for Victoria’s most vulnerable since 1967, providing services such outreach, meals, housing and shelter, job readiness training and assistance, and more.

Their work has helped countless people in our community get back on their feet, find a community to support them, and receive care and dignity during difficult times.

Our Place Society is always in need of donations from our community to continue providing services to Victoria’s homeless and vulnerable populations - so how can we further help? Visit their Ways to Give page to select a particular mission to donate to or help with, or their General Donation page to make a simple monetary donation to the organization.

Another portion will go to WIN (Women in Need Community Cooperative) who do so much to support our sisters, mothers, and wives in need.

WIN has been helping women through exceptionally difficult crisis situations by providing resources and aid through their five main programs. These include:

The Crisis and Referral Program, the Gift Certificate Program, the New Start Program, and Self Sufficiency Program, and the Transformations programs.

Last but certainly not least, and in light of recent events, we will be donating to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS). The IRSSS provides counselling services, health support, cultural support, and more for survivors, families, and communities of those who have been impacted by the former Indian residential school system.

Their work supporting research, education, awareness, partnerships, and advocating for justice and healing is an invaluable asset to the indigenous community, and deserves recognition and support.

We sincerely hope that we have all begun to learn from the past, and will use it to move towards a more loving and inclusive future.

We'd like to encourage everyone to join us in taking this sense of relationship, support, and community into the new year, with a smile you can see right through our masks! Sending lots of love and light your way this Christmas as we look to the New Year with hope and gratitude. See you in 2022!
