Legacy Co-op donates $20,828.31 for Good Buy to Hunger.

Legacy Co-op is proud to announce a sizable contribution made possible by its members to community organizations helping to combat hunger in the Parkland Region. Over the month of February, Legacy Co-op organized 5 cheque presentations with The Salvation Army Yorkton, The Soup Haven, Bruno’s Place – Prairie Harvest Community Center, Shelwin House, Kamsack SIGN, and Churchbridge Public School Snack Program.

Good Buy to Hunger is a yearly initiative that dedicate the funds raised to helping community organizations making a commitment to help stop hunger. Teams at Legacy Co-op Food and C-Stores worked throughout the month of December to help members know the importance of the initiative and how every donation can help.

To build the impact of the total donations raised, Legacy Co-op matched donations up to $5000.00 and Farm Credit Canada (FCC) donated $500.00. The result was a total contribution distributed of $20,828.31. A ratio was used to determine the amounts given for each location based on the funds raised, SIGN Kamsack and Churchbridge Public School Snack Program both received a donation of $1,188.38. Community groups in the Yorkton area received donations of $4,612.94

Legacy Co-op’s Good Buy to Hunger Initiative demonstrates the larger impact having a community organization with the ability to use strength in numbers has. We are incredibly proud to stand alongside our members in the fight against hunger and remain committed to making a difference in our local communities.
