We asked you, our loyal readers, to join us in supporting the Salvation Army Food Bank this festive season — and your response was nothing short of extraordinary.
During the holidays, an increased number of people are reliant on our local food bank. This increased need means that the Salvation Army Food Bank needs our support more than ever.
CollingwoodToday brought our whole community together to help provide that support.
We partnered with Loblaws Collingwood to offer gift cards for purchase through an online pop-up store.
CollingwoodToday and generous local businesses pledged to match every purchase made through the online store, meaning that every purchase was matched seven times!
Together, we raised an incredible $3050 for the Salvation Army Food Bank and delivered 15 gift cards, helping to support those who need it most over the holiday season. Thank you!
Special thanks to Loblaws Collingwood for donating the gift cards for this initiative, and to the following businesses who have joined us in matching each donation: Stuart Ellis Pharmacy, Robinson Paint and Wallpaper, Janet Piotrowski, Real Estate Broker with Royal Lepage Locations North, Mad River Golf Club, Huronia Alarms and The Caretakers Housekeeping Services.
If you didn't get a chance to participate in this program, we encourage you to send your donation directly to the local food bank. You can donate online or call (705-445-0490) to arrange a donation, or click here for more information on how to give back.
