With the economy continuing to stagnate in Calgary, Inn from the Cold has received a huge boost when it needed it most.
The organization was presented a cheque for $46,000 from Sunterra Market as part of its Lucky Stars cookies campaign, which sold packages of sweets throughout the month of December.
“They’ve supported us in a lot through donations,” Inn from the Cold spokesperson Lynn Cox said of Sunterra. “This is the first time in a few years they’ve done a major campaign and we’re all surprised and thrilled by the results.
“It went off like wildfire. So many Calgarians purchased these cookies.”
In all, almost 10,000 packages of cookies were sold during the month.
Cox added, Inn from the Cold donations are down 18 percent year over year from 2015.
