Edo Japan recently launched its Reach For It campaign to encourage customers not only to reach for Edo, but also to reach out to their friends, families, neighbours and even strangers in an effort to create simply better moments. How do you do it? It can be catching up with an old friends you haven’t seen in a while or a random act of kindness for a stranger.
How I reach out to my community is to donate my creative services to small businesses with big hearts. Outside of having a full-time job and running Foodology, I always make time to volunteer for non-profit organizations. I definitely keep myself very busy. My most recent project was with Wuchild, a local Vancouver business which creates beautiful crafts and apparel for stylin’ kids and moms. They want to drive social impact by igniting the untapped talent — and empowering creative identity — of new mothers. The duo – Yvette and Bernice had an amazing vision for Wuchild, so I agreed to help design a few ads and shirts.
This is one of the many ways I reach out into my community.
Foodology and Edo Japan would like to make your Reach For It Moments come true. The winner will receive a surprise worth $100.
Tell us below in the comments what is your Reach For It moment.

My husband’s birthday is coming up next month and I would love to give him an extra special dinner out in Downtown. We’ve been trying to save up for a mortgage, so we haven’t eaten out too much. Thats how I would create my Reach4it my celebrating our milestones in life.
My Reach for it Moment would be to spend some time with my elderly neighbour – who often just wants someone to talk to. Sharing a meal would be a very special visit indeed.
I try everyday to reach out and help friends, family and strangers. Last night at an event at a local areana I helped an elderly woman down the steep stairway as she was having difficulties and had fallen early while climbing up.
I’d like to reach out and have a lovely meal for all my family
I enjoy reaching out to people with my singing. I hope one day I can have a band to perform a concert with and tickets will be by donation with the proceeds going to a local charity.
Diana, you are a tremendous force of awesomeness! We (Wuchild) are so grateful for your help in launching our newest sweatshirts. Thank you!!!

My Reach for It moment is helping others; whether it be family, friends, coworkers, strangers, when I see they are in need of help. Even a simple gesture or act can be sufficient 🙂

My “Reach for It” moment is donating Christmas gifts to a children’s charity and toiletries, socks and blankets to a homeless shelter! Thank you!

I would give coffee to my coworkers to keep them all caffeinated as we continue Q4.
I would take my mom out shopping cause she deserves it.
I’d go to the gym and get myself a membership. All these fall holidays aren’t good for my wasteline
I would reach out to the DTES and pass out dry clean socks to the needy. It has been really rainy so I’m sure they would appreciate it.
I reach for it by always stopping into my elderly neighbours house when I am on my way to run errands to check and see if she needs anything while I’m out or wants to tag along to keep me company.
We try and pay it forward whenever we can. We also like to donate.
