Fundraisers

Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS)

Dumpling Drop has held three fundraisers to raise donations for the IRSSS. On September 30, 2021, 10% of the sales from that day were donated, which came to $400. On July 1, 2021 the store closed and we donated 50% of our online sales, totalling $825. On May 30 2021, $1 was donated for every bag sold on that day.

Yen Wo Society & The Tam Kung Temple

Following the rise of hate crimes against Asian individuals in North America, we donated $720 to the Yen Wo Society & Kam Kung Temple. The funds were raised by donating the sales of all 'Eddie' tote bags purchased from March 19 - April 1. This donation was matched by Fatso Peanut Butter!
