Good Foot Delivery

What Good Foot Delivery does

Good Foot Delivery is a Toronto-based registered charity (Charity #825692668RR0001) founded in 2010 by Kirsten Gauthier and her brother Jon to provide meaningful employment to the neurodivergent community through a professional courier service. The organization employs approximately 22-24 neurodivergent couriers alongside a 6-person office team and executes same-day and express deliveries within Toronto's M postal codes using public transit and on-foot routing, with no vehicle fleet. Core products comprise four delivery tiers: Basic Delivery ($9.25+, by end of day), Express Delivery ($19.00+, 3-hour turnaround), Basic Return ($19.00+, 1 business day), and Express Return ($28.50+, 4-hour turnaround), plus a Door-to-Door Flyer Distribution service at $0.35 per flyer.

The technology platform consists of a proprietary order management and delivery tracking system with customer-facing portals for ordering (orders.goodfootdelivery.com) and tracking (track.goodfootdelivery.com). A native Shopify app integration enables ecommerce merchants to offer Good Foot as a checkout delivery option with live rates and automated order fulfillment. Payments are processed via Stripe and donations via CanadaHelps, with PIPEDA-compliant privacy practices. The business model blends transaction-fee service revenue with diversified charitable funding: an $855,000 federal grant in 2021, ongoing government programs (Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities, Community Services Recovery Fund, Skills Development Fund), and corporate/foundation support from CIBC, RBC, TD, Telus, Azrieli, and several smaller foundations.

Beyond courier services, Good Foot operates a portfolio of programs: the 9-month Good Foot Forward Employment & Training Program for neurodivergent individuals aged 18-30, the employer-facing Building Inclusive Workplaces initiative, wrap-around Support Services (including occupational therapy via Dream Weavers and social programs via Blue Sky Learning), the Good Foot Run Club (with BlackToe Running), and a co-branded coffee, "The Courier," with Sparkplug Coffee. Distribution channels include direct website ordering, Shopify, and business account invoicing. Customer base spans SMB and enterprise customers (e.g., Beanfield Metroconnect, Briar Gate Goods, Laywine's) and the organization reports a 4.9 Google rating with 700+ customers served.
