With a recent donation of $10,000 to the Yorkton & District Community Foundation, the Legacy Co-op is continuing the 80-year tradition of benefiting the communities it serves.
鈥�We are pleased to partner with the Legacy Co-op to create an endowment in their name,鈥� says Ray Bailey, President of the Yorkton & District Community foundation.
Legacy Co-op has served the area since 1940, in Yorkton, Kamsack, Churchbridge, Theodore, Ebenezer, Rhein, Langenburg, Esterhazy, Macnutt, and Dubuc, providing the retail services of food stores, gas bars, cardlocks and agro centres.
鈥�Co-operatives are always involved in their communities and wherever we serve throughout Western Canada cooperatives are known for caring about their customers and the community at large,鈥� says Gene Krepakevich, Vice President of Legacy Co-op. 鈥淚t gives us great pleasure to be able to give back to our community.鈥�
With this donation Legacy Co-op is establishing a named endowment fund that will grow year after year to support annual grants, local charities, and communities in the district.
Yorkton & District Community Foundation is operated by a local volunteer board of directors and is a member of Community Foundations of Canada. Community foundations connect donors and charities to identify and address local community needs, advocate for meaningful social change and to make meaningful and lasting contributions to the well-being of the community.
