Typically, the company presents its year’s-worth of funds raised to the foundation at the annual Miracle Weekend telethon.
Due to changes to the telethon considering COVID-19, Save-On-Foods president Darrell Jones celebrated the year’s donation with his grandsons A.J., eight, and Adrian, four-and-a-half months.
“Although things are different this year, we still have a lot to celebrate when it comes to making a difference in the lives of British Columbians,” said Jones. “Together with our generous customers and supplier partners, our team members went the extra mile over the past year to raise $1.9 million for BC Children’s Hospital. I am so proud of their inspiring commitment to the health of the youngest members of our communities.”
