“At this time, COVID-19 is proving hard for everybody so it only made sense for us to do a PPE drive to help organizations and individuals that really need help, including RVH Regional Health Centre in Barrie, senior’s homes and of course frontline healthcare workers. We put out the message on our social medial channels and asked that if anybody has PPE supplies, our stores are a drop-off point and by bringing them by we will make sure they are donated.

We just want to do our part to help those on the front-lines who are doing their best to help flatten the curve and get our communities and our country going again, ” added Fines.
