Sister brands Garage and Dynamite today announced a total contribution of CAD $151,000 towards the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal from the Canadian Red Cross. To reach this total, parent company Groupe Dynamite Inc matched donations from employees and customers made to its fundraising campaign across its North American store network and online.
“We are watching this tragedy unfold with great sadness for everyone affected.” said Donna Lutfy, Vice President of Sourcing. “We commend the generosity of our community, from our team to our customers, who have donated throughout our campaign, and we are proud to match their efforts.”
Donations to the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal will enable the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to address immediate and ongoing relief efforts, long-term recovery, resiliency, and other critical humanitarian activities as needs arise, both in Ukraine and surrounding countries, including those who are displaced.
