Since 2008, a community of volunteers, schools , churches, community groups and businesses across Canada have been involved in the MILKBAGSunlimited project.

In some parts of Canada milk is sold in colorful bags that hold 3 smaller bags. Those outer bags are made of a specially strong, colouful, non-biodegradable plastic that is UV resistant. It is washable, lasts in the sun, bugs and snakes avoid it and it doesn’t retain moisture. 

 When this plastic is woven it becomes a  very soft and comfortable  sleeping mat that has an unlimited lifespan. Our volunteers weave mats of assorted  sizes, from baby to  tall adult.

In collaboration with other charitable organizations we send mats of different sizes to over 40 countries and to Canadian organisations that cater to homeless people.
