Starting Monday, something as simple as returning your empty bottles and cans can help support women and children in our community.

From August 24 to September 20, customers at The Beer Store can donate their empties or make a cash donation in support of Pavilion Women’s Centre.

Funds raised will help Pavilion provide support and advocacy for women and children experiencing violence, while also helping strengthen support services and expand access to safe housing and counselling programs.

Every donation collected during the campaign will go to Pavilion Women’s Centre.

So if you have a few empties piling up at home, consider turning your next trip to The Beer Store into a small way to help make a difference locally.
