Miss604 Sunshine Coast Collection with MAKE Vancouver
byThe Miss604 Store is opening again this summer thanks to my friends at MAKE Vancouver. This year I am one of fifty women who are fundraising for Sunshine Coast Community Services Society, so this very special part of the “604” is the theme for the t-shirts, mugs, and totes in the Miss604 Sunshine Coast Collection:

Miss604 Sunshine Coast Collection
This stunning part of our province is known for its natural beauty, its artisans and festivals, and its community. With its lush green rainforest, Instagram-worthy waterfalls, and bountiful beaches, we thought a play on a raindrop/ocean spray would be a fun vessel for these designs by Rob Zylstra. Rob, whom I’ve known for over a decade through social media and past fundraising events I hosted, was wonderful to work with, and MAKE Vancouver helped our vision come alive. I’m so grateful for their support.
We have three main designs: The Persephone (the iconic boat from The Beachcombers series that used to sit at the five corners in Gibsons); The Places (Gibsons, Sechelt, and Roberts Creek); and The Seagull.
And yes, I absolutely know (and love) many more destinations on both the Lower and Upper Sunshine Coast but I kept it minimal with three places that helped shape me as a child, youth, and adult. As for the seagull? That’s just for fun!

About the Cause
Sunshine Coast Community Services Society (SCCSS) is the largest community based nonprofit organization providing supportive programming and services to Sunshine Coast residents. As the organization celebrates fifty years of delivering critical community services, they need help closing the funding gap for a vital 6-storey development in the heart of Sechelt. This development will help create 35 safe and affordable homes for single women and women with children, who have experienced, or are vulnerable to experiencing, violence.

The two lower floors of the new building will introduce a community hub that provides flexible meeting spaces, food solutions, crisis response, and support and prevention programs—all in one place. Follow SCCSS on Facebook for updates on the development.
