Over $1500 is going to support women in need in Chatham-Kent, thanks to a corporate fundraiser.
The RONA Foundation launched its Home Sweet Home campaign, collecting donations in-store from September 1st to October 7th.
RONA stores in Chatham and Wallaceburg raised a collective 1542.35 to support the Chatham-Kent Women’s Centre ($1022.35 at the Chatham store and $520 in Wallaceburg.)
The campaign took place in all corporate stores within the RONA network, as well as in four distribution centres and nearly 30 participating affiliated stores across the country. Donations were collected at in-store checkouts and during online purchases on the lowes.ca, rona.ca and renodepot.com websites.
Nation-wide, the campaign raised over $515,000 support 150 Canadian non-profits that help victims of domestic violence and their children, low-income families, and people with disabilities or mental health issues.
