We make jam to disrupt the cycle of homelessness in Niagara.

Buy jam, spread hope.

Good Jam

Fresh. Local. Small batch. Our small batch jam is made with care in our commercial production kitchen in Vineland, Ontario. The fresh fruit in each jar of jam and jelly comes from local farms across Niagara.

Beautiful sunny 🌞 day in St Catharines with no rain drops in sight! Hello buds on tree branches! Hello new blossoms and April flowers! Hello longer days with more sunshine! Hello everyone- our days WILL get brighter! . . . . . #Aprildays #Springishere #Thedayswillgetbrighter #Hope #Flowers #Naturalbeauty #Aprilrain #Aprilflowers
Over the last couple of weeks, we have been seeing a lot of reminders about regularly checking in on our friends, family, neighbors (especially those who may already be isolated). Everybody can do something small that may end up being very helpful or meaningful for someone else. My next door neighbour started a weekly neighbourhood support e-mail. An elderly friend in Toronto got on her balcony to sing O Canada for her neighbours on the weekend. Last Friday and this afternoon, we had our first video chats with my mom who is in a long term care home in Burlington. Connection. It’s happening. Please keep it going! . . . . . #checkinwithyourself  #Callsomeone #Keepconnected #areyouokay  #togetherweareone #begoodtopeople #Kindnesscounts #countyourblessings #Gratitude #makeadifference #spreadhope
First, a BIG thank you to everyone who is on the front lines every single day – we appreciate your hard work, everything you are doing now and will do to keep us safe and healthy! We are also rooting for everyone who is bored or busy at home, alone, isolating with family, getting creative, not feeling well, taking frequent naps, catching up on reading, spring cleaning, learning a new skill, homeschooling, becoming baking gurus, getting love from pets, binge watching everything, working from home… . . . . . #Rootforeachother #Sendingvirtualhugs #Loveandsupportcount #Frontlineworkersmakingadifference #Frontlineheroes #letsrootforeachother #spreadhopeandjoy #makesomeonesmile
