Our Charity Work
As a small business, Green Things has given back to our community through various
fundraisers and charities over the years. We are extremely proud of our
charitable efforts, which we estimate at over $5000. Charities we regularly
donate to include:
The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign
Canadian Cancer Society
Brockville Prostate Cancer Research Golf Tournament
United Way
Big Sisters
Communities in Bloom (Brockville)
Habitat for Humanity
Retts Syndrome
Parkinsons
Plus many more local functions such as Riverfest, Ribfest, Mayor's Walk, and the SPCA
Because the demand for small business to donate cash, gift certificates, etc. is
so strong, we often have to give on a rotating basis. We are truly sorry if we
have to say no, not this time.
