This morning the dauphin Co-op Food store held two presentations, and the first was a cheque presentation for Relay for Life.
Melinda Harris, Co-ops Grocery Department Manager and cancer survivor had been collecting pledges for Relay for Life, and the store was also accepting donations.
The total amount raised was $1,643.50.
Harris says that the generosity of the community allowed them to raise that amount of money.
“As a 32-year cancer survivor Relay for Life has touched me deeply.”
On top of this donation, many of the workers at the store have been purchasing hygiene items to donate to Under One Roof.
This started when Marie Armstrong, who is a cashier, purchased $228.78 in hygiene items and challenged her co-workers to pool their money to meet or exceed her donation.

The store currently has over $600.00 in items that they’re donating.
