Michael Oleksyn/Daily Herald Malcolm Jenkins of Canadian Tire will be supporting the Rose Garden Hospice again after the company that produces Werther s Original donated bags of the candy that will see each dollar go to the fundraising for the project.
One fundraiser leads to another at the Canadian Tire in Prince Albert.
The popular Toffifee fundraiser recently added another treat, with the company that produces them donating $30,000 worth of Werther’s Original candy. All funds raised from the candy sales go to the Rose Garden Hospice.
Owner and local philanthropist Malcolm Jenkins did an interview on CBC Saskatchewan about last year’s fundraiser, which then appeared nationally. The story brought enough attention to the Storck Company, which produces the candy, that they offered Jenkins another opportunity.

Two weeks ago the Rose Garden Hospice received a sizable boost from an anonymous donor in Ontario.
According to a Hospice press release, organizers got in touch with the donor after he left a message asking to be contacted. The donor said he had an interest in hospices, and after a lengthy conversation he said he would like to make a sizeable donation to the Care for Comfort campaign, but didn’t reveal how big it would be. When the cheque arrived, it was for $30,000.
“We were overjoyed at the money coming in at such a crucial time,” Marina Mitchell, who is chair of the funding committee said in the release.
