Discovery Co-op has announced a program to recognize those who have gone above and beyond in helping their fellow individuals in the pandemic.
In a news release Discovery Co-op are asking people to tell them about those individuals people who have “gone above and beyond to help their friends, neighbours or community during the pandemic and they could receive a $100 Co-op Gift Card. This could be anyone from a frontline worker to someone down the street delivering baking to their neighbours.”
As well, Federated Co-operatives Limited is making a $250,000 donation to provincial food banks in Western Canada, on behalf of co-ops across western Canada.
The plan is for Co-op to give out up to 1,250 gift cards across Western Canada. Nominations will be accepted from May 5 to 19 at www.wecare.crs. That is the site to go to if you wish to nominate an individual or learn more about the Co-op’s efforts during the pandemic.
“Our community is stronger today because of the contributions people are making throughout this pandemic,” said Mike Nord, General Manager of Discovery Co-op, in a statement. “We continue our efforts to serve our Co-op members and customers, while also supporting initiatives that benefit our community throughout this challenge.”
