Scotiabank Donation to The Salvation Army Community & Family Services

Andrea Jakeman-Brown, Branch Manager, Victoria Scotiabank, and Purdy McDonald, Vice President, Scotiabank Vancouver Island, made the presentation to Major Bill Mason of The Salvation Army

On November 5, 2009, main branch Scotiabank Victoria presented The Salvation Army with a cheque for $20,000.00 towards its 2009 Christmas program.

Bill Mason explained that the local Salvation Army centre will use the funds during the Christmas season and winter months to help families who are struggling to get by in Victoria. Demand for support services from The Salvation Army is way up, and continues to rise.

The Salvation Army is heavily dependent on donations from the public and corporate sectors to run its services. This generous donation will go a long way towards helping to provide emergency help to those in need in Victoria this winter.

"Scotiabank is pleased to support the local efforts of The Salvation Army, as they provide hope and support to vulnerable people in our community. At Scotiabank, community involvement is not something we just talk about - it's an important part of the way we live, work and do business every day," says Purdy McDonald of Scotiabank.
