Giving Tuesday and Every Day at Ballou Family Apothecary

At Ballou Family Apothecary, we believe that giving is not a once-a-year event. It is a daily practice that lives at the center of our mission. Every day feels like Giving Tuesday here because of the Ballou Family Apothecary Foundation, which is dedicated to lifting others up and happifying lives through meaningful support for affordable childcare initiatives.

Since our founding, 10 percent of all revenue, not just profits, has been donated through our Foundation. This commitment ensures that as we grow, our impact grows as well. We are proud to walk alongside organizations and communities that share our values, and we are grateful knowing that every purchase supports more than wellness. It supports families and children who deserve care, stability, and opportunity.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re especially excited to share two special projects our Foundation is supporting:

Winter Celebration at OAC Burlington, VT

In loving memory of artist and co-founder Bob Phillips' Gam, Lora Ballou, our Foundation is sponsoring a Winter Celebration for all ages at OAC. This joyful event brings people of every generation together to honor creativity, connection, and community.

Advent Gifts with First Congregational Church of Burlington

In partnership with the First Congregational Church, we’re helping to raise funds this advent season for gifts that give back. These gifts will support the childcare project currently in development under their sanctuary, furthering our shared goal of making quality childcare accessible to all.

Our Foundation’s work is all about lifting others up, whether through events, partnerships, or direct support. If your organization, non-profit, or cause is aligned with affordable childcare or similar missions, we welcome you to reach out. We’re always open to considering new collaborations that help happify lives and strengthen our community.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’re building a future where everyone has the support they need to thrive.
