Caledon, ON - Congratulations to our latest Sutton Spirit draw winner Rayissa Palmer. Always active in her community, the pandemic has only made her more creative. In August, Rayissa and her mother Sandy Bodnar hosted driveway dance performances by the Kalyna Performing Arts Company, a professional Ukrainian dance company. The dancers arrived in full costume to put on two jaw-dropping performances for dozens of neighbours, friends and politicians, who generously donated over $750 to help the dance troupe continue their work.
In April of this year, the food bank in Georgetown was in a dire situation: their supplies were almost exhausted because COVID-19 hoarding caused difficulties purchasing food plus there was a sudden increase in clientele. Many people where suddenly unemployed and unable to afford groceries. Rayissa took the initiative to set up a safe, contactless collection. She reached out to neighbours, friends and clients—approximately 60 households in total—and offered to personally collect non-perishable groceries.
Earlier this year, Rayissa also participated in the Ron White Shoe Drive and the Coldest Night of the Year.
This autumn and winter, many people will struggle to stay warm and fed; you and your office can make a difference by holding a clothing or food drive, walking a dog for a shut-in neighbour, doing a shift delivering food for Meals on Wheels, etc.
