Home Hardware stores across Simcoe-Muskoka will be joining forces and matching all donations made to the YMCA during their Giving Tuesday Fundraising Campaign on Dec. 2.
According to officials, stores located in Collingwood, Barrie, Gravenhurst, Midland, Orillia, Parry Sound, and Wasaga Beach will double the impact of gifts to the local charity, demonstrating what is possible when local businesses invest in their communities.
“Gifts made to the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka on Giving Tuesday will strengthen our efforts to ignite powerful, life-changing moments for members of our communities”, said Jill Tettmann, President and CEO of the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka. “A huge thank you to the local Home Hardware Stores for their generous support as our matching donor, helping funds raised go even further in our community to assist those who need it most.”
Officials said the funds raised go towards supporting the organization’s programs and services, which are designed to help all individuals connect and have a safe place to learn, grow, and thrive.
“One in ten individuals relies on financial assistance to access the YMCA’s programs, made possible in part through generous donations,” said organization officials.
