The Quesnel Rona had their Lowe’s Hero’s Campaign from September 1st to October 7th to raise money for a local charity.
After the campaign, the store raised a total amount of $2,290.50 for the charity of their choosing.
The local charity that was chosen was the Big Brother Big Sisters of Quesnel
“Normally it’s just left up to the store. We get a few people together, and we come up with a few names and we decide which one we’re going to raise the funds for.” says Duncan Campbell, Manager for the Quesnel Rona.
While $2,290.50 was raised, Campbell said that he thinks that they fell short in terms of the amount raised compared to previous campaigns.
Last year, they raised just under $3,200, which went to Diabetes Canada.

Campbell says that with the cost of everything getting so high, it is a little harder to raise the funds.
