The 21st annual Cans for a Cause has returned Friday, taking place at Devonshire Mall.
The event is put on by AM800 News, 93.9 Virgin Radio, Pure Country 89 and CTV Windsor. Volunteers collect non-perishable food and money, donated by community members and sent to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
“People aren’t able to keep up anymore and people that were once donors are now recipients from St. Vincent,” said Kristen Hazael, senior promotions coordinator for Bell Media Windsor.
“It’s something they’re seeing a lot of. It’s great that we can come together, and we can help out such a great organization that does spread the love throughout all of the community as well.”
