Bruce Power hopes the annual holiday season online fundraiser brings in over $40,000 in cash to support community toy and hamper programs.
Bruce Power is working with the United Way of Bruce Grey to provide a boost to a dozen local non-profit organizations.
Employees, supplier partners, and the public can help, and tax receipts will be issued. Donations will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, November 20.
If the original goal of $40,000 is exceeded, Bruce Power and the United Way will distribute the extra funds accordingly.
“The need in our communities is great once again this year,” said Dwight Irwin, Bruce Power’s Manager of Community Relations. “Our annual fundraiser provides a boost for hundreds of local families through the hard-working organizations that operate these toy and hamper programs, so we encourage everybody to give if they can this holiday season.”
Organizations being supported include the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation, Dorrell Young Christmas Program in Bruce County, Huron County Christmas Bureau, Kincardine Community Services at St. Anthony’s Church, Paisley Missionary Church, Port Elgin Salvation Army, Ripley Lions, Saugeen First Nation, Tiverton Lions, United Way Grey County, Walkerton Optimist Club, and Women’s shelters in Bruce, Grey and Huron counties.
