Health campaign ends with large cheque to women’s shelter
The Growing Women’s Health campaign put on by Shoppers Drug Mart wrapped up with a final donation of $10,600 today, June 6.
Over four weeks, customers and staff of the Shoppers Drug Mart in the South Hill Shopping Centre pitched together to donate funds to the Prince Albert Safe Shelter for Women.
“We are pleased to present this year’s Growing Women’s Health campaign to the Prince Albert Safe Shelter for Women,” Jash Patel, the associate owner of Shoppers Drug Mart store 401 said. “This is great for the community.”
For over 36 years the Prince Albert Safe Shelter for Women has helped women and children escape lives of abuse. On top of providing shelter and food, the Safe Shelter provides transportation, support, referrals and programming to the women who use its services.
