IGA supports fire brigades
FIRE fighting is a community effort and Michael’s Supa IGA more than plays its part in supporting the CFA.
The supermarket’s Community Chest process generated funds to the value of $2907.36 in 2015.
On Thursday it presented the Korumburra, Loch, Poowong and Kongwak CFAs with a share of these funds which are in addition to the incredible 2015 Michael’s community rewards program funds already distributed.
Nationally, IGA Community Chest has raised more than $70 million which is used to support local communities, charities and other worthwhile causes.
It could be in response to a major event such as a flood or bushfires or something as simple as new soccer balls for the local Under 8s.
The money is raised in a number of ways but predominantly through the purchase of products with an IGA Community Chest logo on the label.
The IGA Signature range has been developed by sourcing Australian made where possible and benchmarking every product to ensure its quality.
Comprising an extensive range which includes tasty treats, snacks and meal options to household necessities and toiletries, the IGA Community Chest logo signifies that with every IGA Signature product sold, two cents is donated to IGA Community Chest.
When a product is purchased with the logo printed on the label, a percentage is automatically credited to that store’s IGA Community Chest account.
Special dollars: from left, Jonte Arestia, Brandon Berry, Chris Hodges and Michael’s Supa IGA Korumburra store manager, Matthew Hardidge, are only a small part of the huge effort the supermarket makes to support not only the CFA, but the whole community.
