TOGETHER
WE CARE

Working hand in hand to give back to local communities coast to coast

Together We Care® was created as a part of our commitment to Connect with Our Communities. We are proud to support our local communities across Canada and have raised over $5.9 million over the years through various fundraising initiatives such as our Annual Food Drive, Toy Drive, and Fill-a-Sleigh Day.



ANNUAL TOGETHER WE CARE® PROGRAMS

The annual Food Drive is sponsored by our stores by partnering with local  charities of their choice to donate food and non-perishable items to those in  need in their neighbourhood. Thank you to all of our Customers who have generously supported our Food drive.                                                                                                      

We are committed to feeding as many individuals in our communities as we can, especially during these times of uncertainty.  Everyone deserves to have a Thanksgiving meal on their table and food to eat. We believe running our annual food drive is one way to make a difference in our local communities,” says Clinton Wolff, President and CEO.

LOCAL TOGETHER WE CARE® FUNDRAISERS

Throughout the year, stores take part in supporting community initiatives by organizing local fundraisers.

Fort Quappelle

Winter Food Drive, Fort Qu’Appelle

In January 2020, the local food bank in Fort Qu’Appelle ran very low on supplies. As the temperature dropped below -35 degrees, school busses stopped running, roads were blocked and people had to wait hours on the road to get to work.

Michelle Yeo (Store Manager, The Bargain! Shop) and her store team organized a fundraiser and asked Customers to generously donate a can of soup to help keep the community warm throughout winter.  

Thanks to the support from the local community, The Bargain! Shop was able to donate 312 cans of soup to the food bank to help keep families warm during the cold days.

Our stores across Canada are committed to show their support by helping their communities during difficult times.  

Contact your local store for more information on the program.
