Legacy Co-op has donated $5,500 to support the SIGN Early Learning Centre’s Forging a Radiant Path Towards Tomorrow project. This significant donation went towards the renovation of the kitchen and daycare facilities, a project with a total cost of $11,626.
Legacy Co-op Board Members Bruce Hansen, President; and Bryce Jacobs, Director; presented the cheque on behalf of Legacy Co-op members.
Following the cheque presentation, Legacy Co-op board members toured the newly-renovated facilities. The updated kitchen not only serves the daycare, where 45 children receive meals and snacks daily, but also benefits the wider community. The SaskAbility Mental Health Drop-in Centre located in SIGN on North Street, and Yorkton Community Fridge volunteers use the kitchen to prepare meals.
Andrew Sedley, CEO of SIGN, said, “SIGN and our Early Learning Centre are very grateful to receive $5,500 from Legacy Co-op for kitchen renovations and improvements at the daycare, including a new stove, ovens, freezer, and cabinets. Legacy Co-op's generous gift covers half the cost. The kitchen ensures the children receive healthy food throughout the day. The gift continues Legacy Co-op's strong support of SIGN and our 24 programs, and we value their involvement not just with us, but with all the communities where they have a presence.”
Legacy Co-op’s donation underscores its commitment to providing value to the communities it serves. With a focus on fostering community development and engagement, Legacy Co-op proudly contributes to initiatives that create lasting positive impacts.
