Hi everyone, as you are all aware the residents of Fort McMurray and the surrounding area were evacuated as the massive fire razed their city. With nearly 90,000 people being forced to flee their homes and the uncertainty of when and in some cases if they will be returning, we wanted to do something for them.
These are our men, women and children and they need our help.
We are partnering with our food and whisky providers to raise money for the Canadian Red Cross' Alberta Fire Appeal. The Canadian Red Cross is, along with other agencies, assisting our displaced citizens with food, clothing, necessities, lodging and counselling. The federal government has offered to match all donations made the the Canadian Red Cross for the victims of this catastrophic event.
Fet's Whisky Kitchen will be hosting a series of 5 Whisky events to raise money for our fellow Canadians, our goal is $10,000 with the fed matchup we can raise $20,000. Why the Canadian Red Cross? We looked at all the agencies fundraising and the Red Cross has the lowest administration costs with 91% of all money raised going to support those in need.
In addition to the generous support from our whisky partners we would also like to thank our food partners for their generous donations as well:
Gordon Food Service
Cioffi's Meats
Hallmark Poultry
D'Original Sausage Company
Finest at Sea
