Real People With Real Stories

Thank you for listening to my podcast

Nov 22, 2021

Now on the Nobodies Are Somebodies Podcast, my guest is Sheri Flint, from the Greater Toronto Area, and she is telling me all about The Cake Box Effect, a not for profit that she runs to help the homeless in her region with gaining access to food, shelter, clothing and medical care, with the eye to getting some of these folks off of the streets and into stable homes and jobs. We talk about how she started, how she raises funds, partnerships and working with many great volunteers, as well as her other passion project "Love Scrubs Naturals", specializing in soaps and hygiene care for those with skin allergies and sensitivities. This is Sheri's story!
