Last week, SooToday asked you, our readers, to join us in supporting Women In Crisis (Algoma) Inc. for our Cares Spring Match: Sheltering our Communities and your response was nothing short of extraordinary.
We partnered with OC Beauty to offer care packages for our readers to purchase for Women In Crisis (Algoma) Inc. through an online pop-up store.
SooToday and generous local businesses pledged to match every purchase made through the online store, meaning that every purchase was matched 19 times!
Together, we raised an incredible $8,000 for Women In Crisis (Algoma) Inc. and delivered 15 care packages, helping to support those who need it most. Thank you!
Special thanks to OC Beauty for donating the care packages for this initiative, and to the following businesses who have joined us in matching each donation: Construction Equipment, Arthur Funeral Home, Henderson Metals, Cintas SSM, Mar Mac Lodge, United Floors, Our Financial Plans, Algoma Hearing Centre, Great Lakes Honda, Daniel J. Fremlin Building Group Ltd., Gateway Casinos Sault Ste. Marie, Soo Mill, Direct Pro, Arauco, Sugar, Algoma Steel, The Country Way, United Steelworkers Union Local 2251 and CIBC Wood Gundy Intrinsic Financial Group
If you didn't get a chance to participate in this program, we encourage you to send your donation directly to your local shelter. For more information on how to give click here.
