Aubuchon supports charity
Aubuchon Hardware has donated a percentage the store’s sales on Feb. 18 to Day One in Hollis.
Day One is an adolescent substance abuse agency.
The decision to donate $250 was employee driven. “We talked about who would be the best organization to give it to in the community,” said Jacques Goudreau, store manager, “and decided awarding this year’s proceeds from the annual fundraising event to Day One would be a great idea.”
Day One’s James C. Harrod Residential Treatment Center is the only yearlong residential substance abuse program for adolescents in Maine. “We’re so grateful for Aubuchon’s generosity,” said Paul Golding, director of development and public relations for Day One. “Many of our kids are starting over in life. Support like this makes them feel connected to and supported by the community.”
The gift was part of a company-wide effort on behalf of the family-owned Aubuchon Hardware chain, in which all 140 northeastern stores participate once each year. “We just want to help out as much as we can,” Goudreau said.
Make-A-Wish benefit successful
The recent four-day sale at the Pythian Sisters Temple raised $2,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses.
Items in the sale were from the estate of Edith Lebeda, who was a member of the Narragansett Temple 111. Bev Hubbard of Westbrook, Lebeda’s sister, announced the amount of the proceeds raised in the sale.
Youland attends leadership conference
Brandy Youland, a representative of AtHome America, Inc., attended a company leadership conference in January in Illinois.
“We learned so much valuable information about what it means to be a better leader and businessperson,” Youland said.
Youland has been with the home decorating company since 1999.
