Nick Milum and Derek Liu created Bag of Toronto to support local shop owners who were struggling
When the pandemic hit, Toronto resident Nick Milum, who was working as a financial analyst at the time, found himself working from home. “I had a lot of extra time on my hands,” he says.
Liu says he was immediately on board when Milum told him about the concept. “I saw it as a huge way to celebrate Toronto during a pretty dark time when a lot of small mom-and-pop shops were suffering,” he says. Milum and Liu worked out of their apartments, scheduling delivery for Saturdays and spending the days prior picking up products and packing them into paper bags. Business owners were grateful for the opportunity to sell products to customers at a time when they were prohibited from coming indoors, and bag recipients were equally excited about receiving a fun delivery during a bleak time.
”For every neighbourhood that we’ve added, we have also done the research to find a charity that works with vulnerable populations within that community,” Milum says.At a time when small businesses are still recovering from the pandemic and now find themselves facing a looming recession, Bag of Toronto has been a valuable mode of promotion.
