December 15, 2024 – Combining direct contributions from employees, funds raised through exciting campaign activities, and a company contribution, Gildan has raised over $150,000 for Centraide, an organization aimed at supporting families in need, helping them overcome challenges such as poverty, homelessness, and isolation.
This year, Gildan organized a three-week-long internal campaign at its head office in Canada, encouraging employees to donate to Centraide and play their part in building stronger communities in the Greater Montreal region.
Funds raised will be donated to a network of agencies around Montreal that connect with thousands of families and offer them aid to tackle financial insecurity, family isolation, educational support, youth employment, and social exclusion.
“At Gildan, we are committed to creating meaningful and positive impacts in the communities of the regions where we operate. Greater Montreal is home to 60% of Quebecers, or 315,000 people, living in poverty, and through enthusiastic participation this year, our employees truly made a difference,” said Jason DeHaan, Chief Information Officer at Gildan, and 2024 Centraide ambassador.
