The GIVE bag is the gift that keeps on giving. For every Give bag sold BYOB will donate $1 towards the Covenant House, a non-profit organization which is dedicated to providing food, shelter, clothing, and support to at risk youth. For every $100 donated it will provide 38 meals for our youth and 2.5 significant contacts with a youth through our street outreach or drop-in program. Feel good about what you give this holiday season.

BYOB holiday tote bags will be available online at bringyourownbag.ca and at select retail locations for $39.99.
