Delivery That Delivers More

How Laywine’s is Choosing Inclusion at Checkout

As a Toronto business, Laywine’s is always looking for ways to further connect with the vibrant and caring community around us. We are happy to introduce our newest collaboration with Good Foot Delivery, an outstanding organization that works tirelessly to promote inclusion in employment and service. 

Meet Good Foot Delivery

Good Foot Delivery is a Toronto-based social purpose organization running a same-day courier service with a simple idea at its core: delivery can be a vehicle for inclusion. Founded in 2010, Good Foot employs couriers who are autistic and neurodivergent — people too often overlooked by conventional hiring. It is important to note that these aren’t token roles. Good Foot couriers complete real routes, build real skills, and earn real wages. They show up, they deliver, and they take genuine pride in their work. And the results speak for themselves. Good Foot is trusted across many institutions and businesses across the city for their prompt deliveries, kind exchanges, and trustworthy handling. For many couriers, a job with Good Foot means more than a paycheque. It offers structure, community, and the chance to be a visible, contributing part of the city they call home. That’s no small thing. Research consistently shows that meaningful employment is one of the strongest contributors to wellbeing and independence. Yet for neurodivergent individuals, unemployment and underemployment remain unacceptably high. Good Foot is doing something about that, one delivery at a time.

Why We Said Yes

The partnership started the way the best ones often do — not in a boardroom, but at a dinner party. When Good Foot's Executive Director Carey struck up a conversation with Gareth, our Managing Director, about what an inclusive delivery option could look like, the enthusiasm on both sides was immediate. In the words of Gareth: "When Carey first told me about Good Foot Delivery, what struck me was how elegantly simple the idea is. A courier service that employs neurodivergent adults and runs entirely on the TTC — it does real good without asking much of anyone. Choosing it at checkout is the kind of small action that compounds. For Laywine's, it fits naturally with how we think about our place in Toronto. We care about the community we operate in, and we care about the planet. These values are reflected in the Good Foot team. We're glad to introduce more of our customers to a service that's already making the city better.” In such a casual setting, true values shine through, and both sides of this collaboration felt nothing but positive waves when detailing the potential of expanding the Good Foot network to include another local business in Laywine’s.  We have always stood for more than just pens and paper. We believe that the right tools — a pen you’ll keep for years, a notebook that becomes part of your daily ritual — can shape how people think, create, and connect. These core values lead us to view delivery as not just another set of logistics to figure out, but as an opportunity to deepen our experience in this world and reflect our values. Integrating Good Foot directly at checkout is a small act with a clear signal: we care about what happens after you click "buy," and we care about the people who make it happen.

What It Means When You Order

Here’s the thing about choices: they add up. When your Laywine’s order arrives via Good Foot, you’re not just getting great stationery; every order delivered by Good Foot is, in a small but important way, a vote for the kind of city we want to live in. Most of us want to contribute to something better; we just rarely get a clear, easy way to do that. Good Foot offers a new opportunity for our customers to easily support a good cause and a hopeful vision for the future of our city.  If you’re in Toronto, choose Good Foot at checkout. Not only will you be impressed by their service, but you will feel pride in knowing you support a local organization that sets out to do some good.
