Metro members raise more than $43,000 for LLSC through Payroll Deduction Campaign

Thank you to all of our Members who took part in the 2021 Metro Payroll Deduction fundraising campaign for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC).

Two members from Metro hold up the prizes they won in the raffle prize draw at their store.

The campaign ran throughout all Metro and Barn stores across Ontario where the members are represented by UFCW Locals 175 & 633. Despite last year being another tough one for frontline workers, the generosity of our members brought in an incredible $43,807.

As part of the campaign, the Local Union was happy to award prizes for the stores that had the best results! Plus, participating members in those stores got a chance to win more raffles prizes, too. Congratulations to the winning stores!

• Store #425 in Brampton (stores up to 99 members)

• Store #205 in Whitby (stores with 100 - 149 members)

• Stores #26 in Stouffville (stores with 150+ members)
