How To Help Rudsak Better Canadian Kids’ Lives

Luxury performance outerwear maker Rudsak is continuously looking for new ways to give back to the community by supporting charities that share its core values of passion, innovation and giving back. During the holiday season, they proudly partnered with Breakfast Club of Canada, a national non-profit that implements breakfast programs in schools from coast-to-coast, giving 10 per cent of the profits generated in December 2023 from the Rudsak kids’ collection to help the fuel children’s futures with a nutritious breakfast and promote a positive impact to health and learning. With nearly 2.1 million households in Canada experiencing food insecurity, Breakfast Club of Canada wishes to give all children support and resources, ensuring a safe space and a nutritious meal to kick-start their everyday life. We chatted with Rudsak CEO to learn how we can continue to help the brand make a difference. —Vita Daily
