A purchase of a Christmas tree or flower bouquet from Country Grocer in Esquimalt will help support sick kids during the lead up to Christmas.
Two dollars from the purchase of a tree, or three dollars from the purchase of a “dream bouquet” will go toward the charity, Help Fill a Dream. Both the flowers and trees have been sourced from farms on Vancouver Island.
Patrons of the grocery store can also put their name on a paper t-shirt for a $2 donation to the cause. It runs until Dec. 15.
“Each sale … helps a sick child and provides assistance to families at a critical time,” said Help Fill a Dream executive director Steve Duck.
Help Fill a Dream accepts “dream” requests from children on Vancouver Island, under 19, with life-threatening conditions. The charity then tries to fulfill those dreams.
