"We have been seeing a gap of up to 15 per cent in Alberta, especially in our stores," he said.

"This year, our Calgary team was able to send 130 kids to summer camp," said Gergis. "We were able to generate almost $35,000 for this year, we support shelters for women, shelters for men, there are many various locations within Calgary, so it's local and across Alberta." "That's all we're asking and we really need household items like kitchen tools, small appliances, accessories, jewelry, shoes, like all the small items that you might have in your closet and you really don't use anymore."
