Your grocery purchases could help give Community Living Central York, and individuals using their services in our community, a helping hand through Vince\u2019s Market\u2019s Community Product Initiative program.
\nNow in its second year, the Community Product Initiative will see four non-profits in York, Simcoe and Durham share in a portion of the sales of products selected by Vince\u2019s each week in their Tottenham, Newmarket, Sharon and Uxbridge stores.
\nLast year\u2019s partner organizations shared a donation of $25,164.
\n\u201cWe are more than pleased with the response from our customers, allowing us to make four large contributions in 2018,\u201d said Giancarlo Trimarchi, Vince\u2019s Markets partner and chair of their Community Support Committee. \u201cNow that we have established this program, we hope our \u2018community product\u2019 becomes a regular item in their shopping baskets \u2013 a win-win for our customers and these local causes.\u201d
\nThe Community Product Initiative was launched in January 2018 and it has been growing with each passing week. Funds are collected at each of their four main stores and employees at each of their locations help select each year\u2019s community recipients.
\n\u201cWith each flyer, a new \u2018community product\u2019 is identified, from which 15 per cent of total sales of that item are set aside,\u201d says the Market.\u201d
\nCommunity Living Central York (CLCY) was founded in 1954 and is currently in the midst of a rebuilding campaign. Its mission was \u2013 and remains \u2013 to provide a friend, a job and a home to adults in our community with intellectual disabilities. Their support and care is lifelong, or for however long it is needed. Their stated goal is to have a community where everyone belongs, while enabling people with an intellectual disability \u201cto achieve their fullest potential.\u201d
\nCLCY supports approximately 400 individuals each year. Services include day support programs, employment strategies and job placement, supported group living, supported independent living, associate\/foster family care, and respite support.
\nPlans are underway to move into a new, larger home on Penrose Avenue in Newmarket \u2013 one that will reduce the wait list and greatly increase programming capacity.
\nAdditional partner organizations this year include the Sharon-based Holland Landing Food Pantry, Alliston\u2019s Matthews House Hospice, and the Uxbridge Loaves and Fishes Food Bank.
