Open Space Yoga's fifth annual Shopping Day for Hospice takes place this Saturday.
The Delta Street yoga studio will open its doors to a variety of vendors to allow shoppers to find some great Christmas gifts while giving back to a local nonprofit in the community. Between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., people can shop for items and services from Sonja Picard Jewelry, The Crows Nest, The Portal, Lyck Bodycare, Pebble Creations, Prana Clothing, Open Space Yoga and Chocolate Love. LARA cuisine will also be on hand offering baklava and Turkish coffee to visitors.
Fifteen per cent of all sales will be donated to the Delta Hospice Society with the exception of Potters for Hospice, which will be donating 100 per cent of proceeds from all pottery sold.
Potters for Hospice have been collecting pottery all year, including work from potters on Vancouver Island and a few special items from a well-known Whistler potter.
"This shopping day provides a way for all of us to give back to an important charitable organization in a very practical way," says Open Space owner Michael Rudd.
"We realize how precious everyone's time is and thought having many diverse retailers in one location may be of benefit to people. We look forward to hosting this shopping day
each year."
"Michael's annual shopping day provides a wonderful opportunity to purchase gifts for Christmas," says Delta Hospice Society executive director Nancy Macey.
"Each year he hosts such a diverse group of vendors; there are gifts for everyone's tastes. We are very thankful to all the vendors and for Michael who opens up his beautiful space for this event."
Open Space Yoga has raised over $30,000 for the Delta Hospice Society over the years.
Open Space Yoga is at 4880 Delta St. in Ladner Village.
