When local businesses step up, the whole community feels it. BrokerLink Lac La Biche is doing just that, making meaningful donations to schools and support organizations that help some of the most vulnerable people in the region.

Through a series of recent contributions, BrokerLink Lac La Biche is supporting food programs for local students and providing direct assistance to community shelters.

Supporting Students Through Nutrition Programs

Several local schools received donations aimed at helping breakfast and lunch programs, ensuring students have access to meals during the school day.

Donations were made to:

• Light of Christ Catholic School – $300 for the breakfast and lunch program

• Aurora Middle School – $300 for the breakfast and lunch program

• Vera M. Welsh Elementary School – $300 for the breakfast and lunch program

These programs play a critical role in student wellbeing, helping kids focus, learn, and succeed without the added stress of food insecurity.

Helping Local Shelters Meet Immediate Needs

BrokerLink Lac La Biche also directed support toward local shelters that provide safety and essential services.

• Lakeland Out of the Elements Shelter received a $500 grocery card donation

• Hope Haven Women’s Shelter received a $500 grocery card donation

Grocery card donations allow shelters to respond quickly to immediate needs, giving staff flexibility to purchase food and essential items when they are needed most.

A Commitment to Community

According to Kathy A. Plamondon, Customer Experience Leader with BrokerLink, giving back locally is an important part of how the company operates.

By investing in schools and shelters, BrokerLink Lac La Biche is helping strengthen the community from the ground up — supporting children, families, and individuals when it matters most.

It’s another reminder that community support does not always have to be loud to be impactful. Sometimes it looks like meals on a table, support behind the scenes, and businesses choosing to reinvest where they live and work.
