Galleria Supermarket celebrated 12th year of Share The Love donation campaign, which was launched back in 2007. Total fund raised this year marked $24,542 with voluntary participation of 55 suppliers & partners who donated part of their profit from December, 2018. Nineteen local charities and non-profit organizations were given the fund at the cheque presentation ceremony held on January 17th at Galleria’s Thornhill branch.
“As core part of the community beyond any supermarket, I believe the best way to appreciate our customers is to give back to help those in need. This is the spirit of ‘Share the Love’ we launched 12 years ago, I would like to share with you today and spread the words to reach more people. ” said Jeffery Min, President of Galleria Supermarket. The event was celebrated and attended by local political and community leaders who also presented the cheque to local charities and commend Galleria’s initiative to lead such a meaningful cause in the middle of bitterly cold winter.
