PRINCE GEORGE- A anonymous donor has provided some much needed support to a trio of local charities. A significant donation was made through Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation. Both the Salvation Army of Prince George and St. Vincent de Paul were given $25,000, and another portion went to the SOTN Cardiac Care Unit. All organizations were chosen in recognition of the important work they do in the community.
“We take pride in the relationships and trust we have built with our Donors,” said Judy Neiser, CEO for the SOTN. “When they choose to donate through us and we can provide that one-stop way to give, but also satisfy their wishes, together we solve a problem. It is only through their kindness and generosity that any of us can do the work we do and it was a pleasure to see these recipients make a difference in the work they do – as will we with this generous donation.”
Bernie Goold, with St. Vincent de Paul said that it would make a difference to roughly 427 families this year. Additionally, Captain Neil Wilkinson with the Salvation Army explained that this would roughly provide 8,250 meals to those they serve. These will make a difference to families at this time of year and make the season just that much brighter.
“For us at the Spirit of the North, we are that much closer to funding the Regional Cardiac Unit that will make a difference for everyone here at home in the North. We are so very grateful,” added Neiser.
