Canadian Tire Penticton is hosting its first drive-thru breakfast event to support local causes, partnering with the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation and the Feedway Foundation. The initiative aims to raise funds for healthcare and school breakfast programs in the region. The event will take place from 6 to 9 a.m. on September 17 at the Canadian Tire location in Penticton.
Participants can enjoy breakfast items while supporting community initiatives, with all proceeds going to the two partnering organizations. The drive-thru format allows for safe and convenient participation, aligning with current public health guidelines. This marks a new effort by Canadian Tire to engage with local charities through community events.
The event is part of a growing trend of businesses using drive-thru services to support local causes, especially during times of economic uncertainty. Canadian Tire has previously supported similar initiatives in other locations, but this is the first of its kind in Penticton. The breakfast will be available to the public, with no cost to participants, making it accessible to a wide audience.
The collaboration between Canadian Tire and local foundations highlights the role of private businesses in supporting public services. The success of the event could lead to future similar initiatives in the area, further strengthening community ties. (castanet.net)
