Joan Chetyrbok, Community Relations Manager with Dauphin Co-op is proud to support such a great cause and tell us a bit about what these funds will offer.
"Funds will go towards programs, equipment, and activities for seniors in our area. they'll have to apply through the Dauphin & District Community Fund."
Lorne Eiffert, General Manager of Dauphin Co-Op notes that this donation is possible through combined efforts with Dauphin Co-Op, and Federated Co-Op.
"$5000 dollars, half of it, is from Dauphin Co-Op and the other half is through Federated Co-Op through the Co-Op Helps Program. This is the program that provides funds for local co-ops and matching contributions from the community. we're very pleased and honored to have Federated Co-Op support us, and support the Dauphin & District Community Foundation to help the seniors in recreation activities going forward."
