Two weeks ago, Vince’s announced the 2021 recipient of their Community Product Initiative. Southlake Foundation would be this year’s beneficiary, with 15 percent of sales of the designated “Community Product” – often a staple grocery item – supporting the Mental Health Program at Southlake Regional Health Centre.
“The focus on Mental Health has been growing, in particular during this pandemic,” said Giancarlo Trimarchi, partner at Vince’s. “Although there is much discussion about the need for mental health facilities, programs and initiatives, we also recognize there are shortfalls, and that there is room for improvement. On that note, we’d like our customers to know how funds from this year’s Community Product Initiative will be used by our partners at Southlake, and how this will make a positive difference for patient care.”

Representatives from Vince’s and from the Women’s Centre of York Region (WCYR) assembled for a brief, socially-distanced presentation at the Sharon store last Friday. Here, proceeds from the 2020 Community Product Initiative were released after a successful year-long campaign, and the independent grocer was pleased to announce that $18,393.68 was raised to help WCYR continue their life-changing work.
“We are thrilled with the response from our customers, staff and vendors in making this happen,” said Giancarlo Trimarchi, partner at Vince’s. “The Community Product Initiative has so far raised nearly $60K over the past three years, and we expect continued, strong support in 2021.”
