prioritize child and youth mental health and help kids while they’re still kids, giving them the best possible chance to thrive. Support for child and youth mental health demonstrates timely leadership and we are proud to embark on this year’s fundraising campaign in partnership with the Sobey Foundation and Sobeys Inc. as we continue to address the urgent local needs for earlier interventions and better access to mental health care.”
Michael Medline, President and CEO of Empire, expressed confidence and optimism about the initiative. He said, “If focusing on prevention and early intervention can keep kids safe and healthy while providing them the mental health support they need, then we can make a real difference for those families in need. I’ve heard from so many of our teammates, customers and suppliers about how important this initiative is and how engaged they are in this cause. The results from the first year of our campaign were outstanding and I know that our entire team will push us to greater heights this year! The Sobey Foundation was instrumental in getting this initiative off the ground, and we are so proud to continue championing this important cause with the Sobey Family.”
