Bruce Power donates to local food banks, Christmas hamper programs, toy drives

The spirit of the season is alive and well at Bruce Power as it makes its annual contribution to local food banks and Christmas hamper programs.

 

“Helping others is what the holiday season is all about and we appreciate the many volunteers across Bruce, Grey and Huron counties who do so much for people who need a helping hand at this time of year," said Duncan Hawthorne, president and chief executive officer. "We are thrilled to be a part of that.”
 

Bruce Power has given a $54,000 boost to 26 local food banks, and donated hundreds of toys for toy drives and Christmas hamper programs across the region. The annual site-wide toy drive is organized and supported by Bruce Power employees.

 

Each year, Bruce Power invests about $1.5 million in events and organizations through its sponsorship and community investment program. The program focuses on grassroots projects that emphasize health and wellness, community, youth development, events, Aboriginal programs, and military, veterans and first responders.
