Rona resumes fundraising campaign
By Rob Bale
Home improvement retail chain Rona has resumed an annial initiative called “Build From the Heart.” The campaign seeks to raise $1 million through its Rona Foundation to distribute to seven non-profit organizations. The money will fund housing-related construction or renovation projects supporting domestic violence victims. The effort will run until May 31 at all Rona and Rona+ stores.
“We received over 100 applications from organizations with really interesting construction and renovation projects,” said Renaud Paquin, director of the Rona Foundation. “Each organization’s commitment to their community and the quality of the projects they submitted showed incredible dedication. The seven selected projects will meet concrete needs to provide safety, dignity and quality of life to the most vulnerable.”
