Family of Support

From September 17 to October 4, you can support kids' mental health through the Family of Support campaign by donating at checkout when you visit a participating Sobeys, Lawtons Drugs, Needs, FreshCo, and Foodland & Co-ops. In the Maritimes, funds raised support mental health programs at the IWK, helping local kids and families get the mental health support they need when they need it.

Steele Auto Group — Driven to Give

From September 1 to October 19, approximately 60 Steele Auto Group dealerships across the Maritimes will be fundraising in support of the IWK Foundation and Janeway Children's Hospital through their Driven to Give campaign.

For every vehicle sold, $50 is donated and matched by Steele, doubling the impact for children and families. Beyond vehicle sales, dealerships bring the campaign to life through grassroots initiatives including bake sales, community events, car shows, and employee fundraisers. 

Last year, Steele and its dealerships raised more than $212,000 in support of pediatric care at the IWK.
