The Erb Group helped raise $40,000 for the Local Community Food Centre by supporting the Stratford 5K Run and Walk.
Held at Upper Queens Park in Stratford, Ont., the event attracted 450 participants on, doubling the funds raised from last year.
In addition to providing financial contributions, the company delivered race barriers. The Erb team volunteered at the race, ensuring runners stayed cool and hydrated by distributing water refreshments throughout the event.
“As an essential industry, we’re conscious of the needs of the communities we serve and the role we can play through our specialized equipment and mission of bringing food to family’s tables,” said Wendell Erb, chief executive officer of The Erb Group. “By continuing to sponsor the Stratford 5K, we are able to support important organizations like The Local Community Food Centre, which enhances food security and deepens our connections within the community by providing access to fresh and healthy food.”
The proceeds will benefit programs that focus on cooking, growing, and sharing healthy food.
