The PENN. Project

The Penn Project is all about our collective efforts to strengthen the communities we’re part of.

As a proud Canadian company, we value building meaningful relationships with #PennGals from coast to coast by supporting causes that are nearest to their hearts.

The Penn Project is rooted in 3 foundational pillars that make up the fabric of our brand DNA: community, well-being and social responsibility. Join us in making a difference, one step at a time.

One heart is powerful. A collective heart is unstoppable.
