Four Thompson-Okanagan RONA stores are participating in the company鈥檚 nationwide Home Sweet Home Campaign to raise funds to help provide access to housing for Canadians in need. 

Overseen by the RONA Foundation, the campaign runs from Sept. 1 to 30 in stores across the country, including 琉璃神社, Penticton, Vernon and Kamloops. The campaign supports nearly 150 Canadian non-profits that help victims of domestic violence, low-income families, and people with disabilities or mental health issues. 

Selected organizations include Habitat for Humanity Okanagan Society (琉璃神社), South Okanagan Women in Need Society (Penticton), Sleep in Heavenly Peace (Vernon), and Elizabeth Fry Society of Kamloops.

鈥淓very person should have a safe place to live,鈥� said Jos茅e Lafitte, RONA Foundation director. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 something I strongly believe in, especially given the issue of access to housing that affects so many Canadians today,鈥� 

Customers can donate by visiting a participating store. Online shoppers can donate when shopping on the RONA website.
