• Out of 1 to 30 September 2024Starting now, teams at all RONA+, RONA and Réno-Dépôt stores, as well as participating distribution centers and RONA stores, will collect donations for a local charity of their choice.

• Nearly 150 Canadian non-profit organizations will benefit from this campaign

BOUCHERVILLE, QC, 29 August 2024 /CNW/ – The RONA Foundation, which oversees the philanthropic activities of RONA inc., one of the Canada’s leading home improvement retailer that operates and manages approximately 425 corporate and partner stores, is launching its “Home Sweet Home 2024” campaign, which raises funds to revitalize residential environments or to facilitate access to housing for Canadians in need. The campaign runs from 1 to 30 September 2024in all RONA corporate stores as well as in participating distribution centers and RONA partner stores.

In total, the campaign supports nearly 150 Canadian non-profit organizations that help victims of domestic violence and their children, low-income families, and people with disabilities or mental health issues. “Everyone should have a safe place to live. I firmly believe in that, especially given the housing shortage that affects so many Canadians today,” says Josée Lafitte, director of the RONA Foundation.

Significant local impacts

“Our teams in the stores and distribution centers are inspired and motivated by this current cause because each team chooses the local organization they want to support. Some nonprofits sometimes find it more difficult to raise funds because they do not have the infrastructure of a large national organization. That is exactly what we have,” says Catherine LaporteChair of the Board of Directors of the RONA Foundation and Senior Vice President of Marketing and Customer Experience at RONA.

Customers in the RONA network across the country are invited to make a donation to support a local cause during their in-store visits. Online shoppers also have the opportunity to get involved by making a donation when shopping on rona.ca.
