CARSTAR Red Deer and CARSTAR Red Deer South recently surpassed $25,000 in fundraising for the local Red Deer Christmas Bureau and Red Deer Food Bank.

These facilities have been actively involved in this program since 2004 and are no strangers to giving back. Consecutively raising the most amount of money during Shine Month, CARSTAR’s trademark fundraising month for Cystic Fibrosis Canada and hosting their local Walk for Cystic Fibrosis Canada, the team at CARSTAR’s Red Deer locations strongly believe in making a difference in their communities.

“The only reason we can be in the position to make donations like this or to Cystic Fibrosis Canada are because of all the hard work our employees put in every day, at both locations,” said Darryl Hemstreet, owner/operator CARSTAR Red Deer and Red Deer South.

“Supporting causes like the Red Deer Christmas Bureau and the Red Deer Food Bank are important to us because it helps us spread the joy during this cheery season and ensures it’s a happy holiday for everyone in the Red Deer community.”

The Red Deer Christmas Bureau and Red Deer Food Bank work to help those in need within the Red Deer community. The vision of the Red Deer Christmas Bureau is to ensure that every child receives a toy on Christmas morning and ensure those that are in need, get to enjoy a hearty meal on Christmas day.

The Red Deer Food Bank, established in 1984, provides emergency food requirements for those in need for Red Deer and the surrounding area.
