High school graduation season is weeks away and most students are busy trying to find the perfect gown or suit to wear.And that's where the Adopt-A-Grad Foundation can help.
"Effectively, we've all got their back and sometimes that's what they need, because they may not have that at home."Some work full time helping to pay their parents' mortgage while trying to take their last high school courses. In 2016, Mike was asked by a local mother if he had a suit he could loan to her son for graduation, and the idea for the foundation began."This season, we saw students from Carstairs, Beiseker, Crossfield, Airdrie, Calgary and Cochrane," said Lori.The foundation raised money in the early days by collecting bottles and now receives corporate and private donations.
"Stephen Cleaners have been with us since the beginning, back in 2018 when we first started accepting clothing donations, and they operate as a depot effectively for us," said Lori.
