This year's Fiat Chrysler Canada donation to the United Way Windsor-Essex left CEO Lorraine Goddard breathless.
Employees of Fiat Chrysler and the Windsor Assembly Plant donated $1,176,931 during this year's campaign. That's $115,000 more then the previous year.
"With the increasing poverty in our community and the need that's out there, these dollars are just going to catapult United Way into the future to be able to really start addressing these needs in our community," says Goddard.
The United Way Windsor-Essex has raised $3.7 million to date.
"We have many work places that have yet to announce so we're really confident that we are going to break through that $5 million threshold that we've been at for a number of years and we're going to start to see movement towards are bold possibility of $7.5 million," says Goddard.
The Fiat Chrysler donation is consistently the largest donation the United Way receives each year.
