Care packages, delivered to your students.
From exam-week comfort to birthday surprises, My Dorm Store care packages let McGill families send a thoughtful gift to their student — curated, hand-packed, and delivered without any work on the Campus Store's end.
Care packages, built for every moment.
Families choose a package for the occasion, add a message from home, and we deliver it straight to residence or off-campus housing.

Promote it. We handle the rest.
McGill Campus Store points families to the program — a line in a seasonal email, a link on the site, a QR code at the counter. My Dorm Store does the curation, the handwriting, the packing and the shipping. There is no inventory to carry and nothing to assemble.
Start the conversation →What McGill gets
Four steps from message to doorstep.
Choose a package
An occasion-based package, or a box built item by item on Build Your Own.
Add a message from home
The family types what they want to say and adds the student's address.
We write it by hand
Every note is handwritten by our team and tucked into the box before it's sealed.
We pack & deliver
Picked, packed and shipped from our Ontario warehouse to residence or off-campus housing.
A box for every kind of week.
A small gesture that students remember.
Show up when it matters.
A box of comfort during exam week, a birthday surprise, a note from home in a hard week — the moments students tell their parents about.
More than move-in week.
Move-in helps students arrive prepared in September. Care packages keep the Campus Store in front of McGill families every month through to April.
Promote it without running it.
MDS handles sourcing, assembly, handwriting, fulfillment and delivery. The Campus Store team just decides where to mention it.
Built around the McGill calendar.
Eight months of reasons for a family to send something — each one a natural moment for the Campus Store to mention the program.
Highlighted months are our two strongest gifting periods — both driven by the Exam Week package.
Campaign copy, written for you.
Drop these straight into a parent newsletter, a social post or a counter card.
“Midterms are here — send a little support from home.”
Pairs with the Exam & Midterm Care package in a parent email.
“Finals week fuel, delivered to your student.”
Works as a website banner in the two weeks before exams.
“Celebrating a birthday away from home? Send the celebration to McGill.”
Good for social and QR signage at the Campus Store counter.
Build Your Own Care Package
For families who want something specific, we open the whole shelf. They pick the snacks, the comfort items and the extras, write their message, and we pack the box exactly as they chose it — same handwriting, same delivery, no minimum.
Bring care packages to McGill students.
Tell us where you'd like to start — a parent email, a link on the Campus Store site, or a seasonal campaign around midterms. We'll set up the McGill ordering link and send over the creative.
