Creative Treats Club (CTC) is a social enterprise for those who like to gather together to create, paper craft, bake and treat others. CTC is based in Ottawa, founded by Brenda Wilson and is all about creativity, connection and community.
Explore the fun ways in which you can create and connect and support our community. You can learn how to make truffles, creative packaging and greeting cards either by volunteering with Creative Treats Club as well as attending or hosting a workshop. You can also support Creative Treats Club by purchasing greeting cards, Treat Boxes or card and craft kits.
We offer in-person workshops. Proceeds from workshops are used to support Ottawa-area non-profit and charity partners such as the food bank at Debra Dynes Family House (DDFH) and The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County (DSORC) as well as the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and The Ottawa chapter of the Shoebox Project.
We create and fills Treat Boxes (hand-made packaging holding small gifts, home-baked treats such as truffles) to donate to DDFH and to the Shoebox project. These are distributed to people in need within the community through the DDFH food bank and community outreach programs.
We create card and craft kits for DSORC and CMHA. These card and craft kits are provided free of charge to individuals living with dementia and their caregivers as part of the DSORC Creative Cards and Crafts (CCC) program. We recently expanded the program to provide Creative Cards sessions during the CMHA Arts for All program. We lead in-person and online classes to guide CCC participants in real-time as they make their card and crafting projects. We create videos and project handouts so CCC participants can make their card and craft projects by themselves when they are not able to attend scheduled in-person or online classes.
We sell things to raise funds for non-profit and charity partners. Limited quantities of greeting cards, Treat Boxes containing home-baked treats or hand-made gifts as well as card and craft kits are available for sale, all proceeds of which are donated to DDFH, DSORC and other local partners.
