Hello, my name is Simone Benson.
I am a grade twelve student at Windsor Secondary School. Like many, COVID-19 has affected my life, especially as a student. I have seen many families impacted financially due to the pandemic, and I’ve wanted to find a way that I could help improve their lives. I am grateful for the opportunity I have received with working with Harvest Project to run this campaign in my community.
Through a course at my school, I was assigned an open-ended project and chose to use it to help my community. I initiated this fundraiser with Harvest Project to help individuals and families in need of assistance in the Deep Cove – Seymour area. By donating to this campaign, you are helping families by gifting grocery store gift cards and allowing Harvest Project to help others.
Thank you for your considerations and donations towards the community and Harvest Project.
COVID-19 has challenged Harvest Project in carrying out one of their key goals: putting groceries in the hands of vulnerable North Shore individuals and families.
We are fundraising for Harvest Project to provide gift cards that can be shared with North Shore individuals and families who are struggling and unable to purchase groceries, within our community.
Our goal is to also help support our local businesses by engaging them in sharing and promoting this campaign. This format gives businesses a free of charge platform to help their community by sharing and bringing awareness to it.
Community support for these businesses is crucial in these times, so we hope that you, the donor, will acknowledge and be thankful to them by showing your support and shop locally.
This is " The Community helping The Community" philosophy we believe will help Harvest Project strengthen their safety net.
Please choose from your local Parkgate/Deep cove grocery partners which one you like to support in purchasing one of their gift card. You can also participate in donating funds to support and help Harvest Project deliver their mandate in our Mt Seymour community.
