SHAWVILLE Dec 8, 2020
The local food bank got some extra support just before the holidays, as staff at the Shawville Giant Tiger made a sizable donation of $1,000 on Dec. 8.
Manager Brandyn Gauthier said . . .
that he has always been a supporter of food banks, and said that his staff were enthusiastic about helping Bouffe Pontiac out around Christmas.
“The customers kind of fell in love with it and started donating money right away,” he said. “The goal was $500 and they got to $1,000 pretty quickly so it was really nice. Whatever their total was, [the cashiers] would ask if they want to round it up to the nearest dollar and that money went towards the food bank.”
Bouffe Director Kim Laroche was extremely grateful for the support from staff and customers alike.
“It shows how much they believe in our mission,” she said. “We really appreciate it at the time of year.”
