NEWS RELEASE
BARRIE GREY MUSKOKA BEER STORE
*************************
Beer Store customers from Barrie, Grey-Bruce and Muskoka opened their hearts and their wallets to help drive a total $2.3 million in hospital and food bank donations across the province.
The money raised in Barrie Region will stay in the region. Beginning last March 17, the Beer Store announced that consumers returning empties for recycling could choose to donate their proceeds from $0.10 or $0.20 per container to Health Care Centres and Foodbanks within their own communities, as selected by our store managers and employees across the province.
The Beer Store is delighted to announce that recipient Health Care Centres and Foodbanks in Barrie Region will share in over $409,426 in donations from generous Beer Store customers.
“We thank the people of Barrie, Grey-Bruce and Muskoka for their incredible generosity. To donate their returns in such large numbers clearly demonstrates how much they want to show their support for people working at local health centres and foodbanks,” said Beer Store President Ted Moroz.
For more information about how the Beer Store is responding during the COVID-19 crisis, and to view a full list of all regional donations made through the Beer Store’s recycling program, please visit our website at www.thebeerstore.ca.
“We’d like to thank all our customers for their patience and community spirit at this extraordinary time,” Moroz said. “They’ve demonstrated that we truly are all in this together.”
