This month we're spotlighting our business insurance client Hometown Style a boutique founded by Jenn Weber in Ingersoll, Ontario.

What began as a small online shop run from Jenn’s kitchen table quickly grew into a beloved local boutique. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to featuring real women of all shapes and sizes as models, Hometown Style is a place where customers feel confident, celebrated, and inspired. The boutique regularly organizes fashion shows that raise funds for local charities and they proudly style local Olympian Ella Shelton.

We love partnering with this small, woman founded local business. Be sure to check them out the next time you're in the region. Special thanks to Co-operators Advisor Adam Funnel for highlighting this business client.

Welcome home, crew. 🚀🌕

This month, we’re excited to highlight The Broom Tree Foundation; a valued Co-operators client. This not-for-profit organization that provides women and their families with programs that address critical needs, including temporary and short-term housing, addiction and domestic violence support, and employment skills.

One of their greatest strengths is collaborating with other local businesses. Fellow Co-operators client supplies agricultural donations for Broom Tree’s café, while another of our clients, Wolf Creek Truck Wash, donates 100% of the bacon served there🥓. These partnerships help Broom Tree reinvest as much revenue as possible into their programs. Thanks to Co-operators Financial Advisor Jordan Schnoor for nominating his clients and sharing this wonderful story of community collaboration.
