Noodlebox Canada will participate in a day of fundraising on Wednesday September 20 and this year will be donating 50% of food sold to the local CMHA branch in each Noodlebox location; Victoria, Mid-Island, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.
Noodlebox has supported CMHA since 2014 and since its inception in 2014 this event has raised over $25,000. Noodlebox aims to surpass last year’s total of nearly $14,000 and customers are encouraged to visit their local store to enjoy a meal while giving back to the community!
“CMHA BC is grateful for the support we have received from Noodlebox over the last four years. The proceeds from this fundraiser have been channelled into community wellness programs that help people build mental health skills and resilience and promote positive mental health,” says Jocelyn de Montmorency, CMHA’s Victoria program manager.
“Suicide alertness and prevention training workshops, along with core CMHA BC mental health promotion and recovery-focused programs such as Living Life to The Full, are just a few of the programs and services to have received a boost as a result of Noodlebox’s generous donations.”
The charity program began in 2014 when Jim Hayden, a co-owner of multiple Noodlebox franchise locations in Victoria, BC, held a donation day in support of the CMHA. All Noodlebox locations now devote a day each September in continued support of this and other worthy causes.
“At Noodlebox we work hard to be involved in our communities and we feel strongly about supporting local businesses and causes whenever possible,” says Jim. “CMHA is a cause close to my own heart; my own family has been directly affected by the challenges surrounding mental illness, and the charity has been an invaluable resource to us and other families. On September 20th we encourage everyone to visit their local Noodlebox for delicious fresh food, and partial proceeds from your meal will go to support this great cause.”
