From Initiative to Intention: Collaborating with Cloverdale Community Kitchen
When EllisDon begins a project, it is always with the intention of supporting the communities we build in. While we are privileged to do it through the buildings
One of our British Columbia sites has done exactly that through their relationship with Cloverdale Community Kitchen (CCK). CCK is an organization that
Their relationship began with their Christmas Hamper Program. Our site, along with onsite partners, donated toys, food and an additional $9,619 in funds
This success spurred the team to reach out a second time, this time with a more intentional goal: build a calendar of multiple, pre-planned fundraising events
- The site donated $3,000 to become a CCK Rest Stop Sponsor for Coldest Night of the Year, a walk to raise money in support of local charities like CCK.
“It’s exciting to be able to leave our marks on these communities in ways that go beyond construction,” said April Land, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The project team is looking forward to filling out the calendar and continuing to engage with CCK over the length of the project.
