The PEI Liquor Control Commission (PEILCC) recently presented donations to several charitable organizations as part of its annual Gift of Giving Campaign.

The Gift of Giving Campaign is an annual event which donates a portion of gift card sales from PEILCC locations across the Island during the month of December to community organizations. This past holiday season, the campaign raised over $17,500 for charities across PEI including Blooming House, Bedford MacDonald House, MADD Canada, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Canadian Mental Health Association, and several food banks across the Island.

“Spearheading the Gift of Giving Campaign is something that we are very proud of as it gives us the ability to give back to Islanders, especially during difficult times,” said Minister of Finance Darlene Compton. “To be able to recognize these amazing charitable organizations and the work that they do for Islanders each and every day is really special, and I want to thank everyone who participated in the Gift of Giving Campaign this year.”

PEILCC is committed to the communities it serves, and this campaign gives back to organizations that provide important support and assistance to Islanders.
