Indulge – Pandemic-Style

The realities of the pandemic can’t keep a great community down. Case in point: When we can’t gather for Indulge, we bring the event right to you.

The Marda Loop Communities Association’s (MLCA) annual Indulge event brings together neighbours and friends, showcases local businesses and services, and introduces the community’s delightful uniqueness to those less familiar. It’s also the key fundraising event for the MLCA. “Many people were disappointed when Indulge 2020 was cancelled,” says Jolene Sheldon, MLCA board member and Indulge chair. “It’s more important than ever to support and celebrate our community and the spirit of Indulge is alive and well in a new format – the Indulge in Marda Loop Small Business Care Box.”

As in past years, Indulge is partnering with local businesses to highlight some of the best our neighbourhood has to offer. Starting in early March, Indulge will come to you by way of an assortment of amazing products from local vendors, including:

  • 8Cakes
  • Chica Beauti Bar
  • DYP Refillery
  • Forage Foods
  • Marda Loop Brewing Company
  • Master Chocolat, and
  • Phil & Sebastian

An additional $150+ worth of coupons and gift certificates from local favourites will provide you with more opportunities to indulge, including:

  • Blush Lane Organic Market
  • Chica Beauti Bar
  • Original Joe’s
  • Pubblico Italian Kitchen
  • Rumble Boxing Studio, and
  • The Trop

The MLCA could not be prouder to support each of these businesses; we are grateful for their generous support in bringing Indulge to life.

Where’s the Wine?

The popular Indulge wine raffle returns this year, with prizes valued at more than $1,000. Raffle tickets will be available as an add-on item when purchasing an Indulge in Marda Loop Small Business Care Box.
