Kalesnikoff spreads goodwill to West Kootenay communities

Hope for the Holidays campaign donates $25,000

Submitted by Kalesnikoff

This holiday season, Kalesnikoff’s team members came together to support families and seniors in need in our community. Thanks to employees’ generosity and matching contributions from the Kalesnikoff family, they raised a grand total of $25,000 for the Hope for the Holidays campaign.

Volunteers did holiday baking, purchased food, shopped for items on children’s wish lists, packed boxes of gifts and provisions, and delivered the contributions in Castlegar and Nelson.

Kalesnikoff joined with Salvation Army, Castlegar and District Community Services Society (CDCSS) and Increasing Recreation Involving Seniors (IRIS) to provide gifts and provisions to those in need over the holidays and will be providing ongoing support throughout the year.
