#12DaysOfGiving Day 5 - World Vision

This year we had a lot to celebrate at our Christmas party!

It was a record year for our company - we closed 64 homes and added more team members than ever before! That's why we wanted to make our Christmas party extra special this year and Peller Estates helped us do that - the venue really set the tone for the night and the staff was amazing!

 

Looking back on the year, our team had a lot to be proud of. We were CHBA & OHBA Finalists, NHBA's company of the Year, and we contributed to a number of organizations in our community: Big Brothers and Big Sisters, The Holmes Foundation, YWCA, Niagara Dog Rescue, Niagara Life Centre, Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre of Niagara and Community Care to name a few.

For our #12DaysOfGiving we wanted to go bigger as well, we looked at giving back outside of our community to those in need. With World Vision we made a donation on behalf of each employee - we gave the gift of food, a source of income, health and education to families in need.

The impact that World Vision has in communities around the world is amazing:

• 41 million life-saving medications were shipped to stock medical clinics
• 1.7 million people including children benefited from food distributions, helping them to fight hunger and malnutrition
• 318,326 books were distributed to support children's learning and development
• 55,537 people including children are better equipped to protect themselves from disasters and respond to emergencies 

We are so proud of our team and what they have been able to achieve this year, we are so excited for what the future has in store for this amazing group of people!
