How It Works

In supporting the health, development, and well-being of people with Down syndrome and families across the province, Bottles for Buddies and the Beer Store have partnered to make a difference through this campaign.

Beginning the week of Monday Oct 9th until Sunday Oct 15th, customers who are able to, can donate their empties or alongside their purchase support with $2, $5, or $10 at all Beer Store locations across Ontario. These generous funds will support Down Syndrome Ontario in providing critical resources and invaluable services.

By donating to the Down syndrome communities, customers will help children and families receive life-changing treatment and provide much needed support across the province. Customer donations will also fund vital hospital programs, help lines, jobs, programs, and support a range of specialized treatments and ground-breaking research.

Beer Store empties are full of opportunity
This campaign is rooted in the Beer Store’s Empties Are Full of Opportunity to improve the well-being of our customers, employees, and communities.
