TORONTO - Toronto-based Gardex Chemicals hosted its fourth annual toy and food drive in support of a local shelter serving women in need of a safe space to live. Many of these women have children to care for, with ages ranging from newborns to teenagers.
Karen Furgiuele, president of Gardex Chemicals, started supporting the shelter back in 2021 with generous donations coming in from Pest Control Operators, suppliers and Gardex staff across Canada.
“The support shown over the past years has been very overwhelming,” Furgiuele said in the news release. "We are so fortunate that the 2024 holiday season has once again brought out the spirit of giving and importance of community support. From the toys for babies and children, gifts and gift cards for teenagers, household items, hygiene products and non-perishable food items. We are delighted at all the generous donations we have received this year!"
