Empowering Communities
We believe in the power of community and the strength of cultural connections. Our dedication to social impact and community involvement is at the heart of everything we do.
Through our initiatives, we aim to empower, educate, and inspire, creating a ripple effect of positive change within Indigenous communities and beyond.
Our actions include:
- Donating 10% of our monthly profits back into community
- Awarding two x $2,000 business grants for up and coming Indigenous entrepreneurs
- Providing access to nutritious, culturally relevant food options through community kitchens and wellness workshops.
Through these pillars of our social impact strategy, Bangin' Bannock not only shares a taste of tradition but also fosters a future where culture and community thrive together.
