Compassion in Action: LifeLabs Donates $15,000 for Relief
LifeLabs Takes Action to Support Wildfire-Affected Communities
In response to the devastating wildfires that have impacted various communities in Saskatchewan, LifeLabs is demonstrating its commitment to social responsibility through a substantial donation of $15,000 dedicated to relief and recovery initiatives.
Employee Contributions Amplified
Through its Employee Giving Program, LifeLabs is enhancing its impact by matching employee contributions dollar for dollar, up to $5,000, to a registered charity selected by the employees. This initiative encourages a culture of giving and reinforces the community spirit within the organization.
Direct Donations to Key Organizations
In addition to the matching program, LifeLabs is making direct contributions of $5,000 each to two significant organizations: the Canadian Red Cross and the Central Urban Métis Federation Inc (CUMFI). These funds are crucial in supporting emergency response activities such as evacuation logistics, providing temporary housing, financial assistance, and undertaking community rebuilding efforts.
Support from Recognized Organizations
The Canadian Red Cross is actively delivering vital emergency services to those evacuated from their homes, while CUMFI is working diligently to support Métis citizens and other vulnerable groups. Their combined efforts ensure that immediate aid and support are available in host communities.
Pursuing Reconciliation and Community Strengthening
This generous donation by LifeLabs signifies more than just financial support; it embodies a commitment to advancing reconciliation and fostering partnerships with Indigenous communities. The company aims to make a shared effort to provide robust support for those affected by the wildfires across the nation.
