Involved In Creating Community In This Creative Community
Involved In Our Community
Sign Depot has always been part of the local community, by providing donations to silent auctions, golf tournaments etc. This has always been well received, but never quite matched how creative we can be. Over the last year we chose some different community involvement projects which we hope provided a positive impact on the people living in this area. It’s amazing the impact one sign, or in this case one sign company can have.
It started last May with the Grand Opening of our new location. We partnered with The Food Bank of Waterloo Region‘s newest endevour THE DIG IN CAMPAIGN. We brought the community out to enjoy our new surroundings along with a BBQ lunch in return for their Food Bank Donations.
Some of our other new community involvement projects include
- Supplying a meeting space for the Movember KW team
- Took part in promoting Random Act Of Kindness Day
- Community connector with the Design Community
- Hosting our 1st Art Event
- Banner donations to the very successful TEDx Waterloo event
- Providing a structure for a CANstruction team to support the Food Bank
- Choosing to take on co-op students and participate in Lutherwood job placement opportunities
We do our best to support the community and encourage them to be creative as well. Finding ways to be involved in our arts community, small business networks, chartiable organizations and not for profits are just some of the ways we give back. Always thinking of creative ways to be involved is something we hope many companies will implement. We are excited about some upcoming projects The Sign Depot will be supporting in the upcoming months, but we are just as excited to be a fun place to come and visit! Just ask Darin White the winner of the Sign Depot WORD JUMBLE.

It was an awesomely fun visit, Lisa. Reactions to my blog post ranged from “I gotta get The Sign Depot to make me a sign” to “I wonder if they’re hiring”.
I’m hooked. Consider me a Sign Depot regular from now on.
Happy making,
DW
