Provigo Le Marché Charron Aylmer held a barbecue with the Outaouais Mustang Club on June 7, to raise funds for two local organizations.

“We decided to create an activity where we give back to the community, with a barbecue and games for the children,” said Éric Charron, owner of Provigo Le Marché Charron Aylmer. $1,240 was raised and will be donated to the Aylmer Food Centre and the Deschênes Community Group.

A 50/50 draw was held for the occasion, with the winner (Amélie) receiving $365.

This was the first time this event was held. “We will likely repeat the activity throughout the year to help the community,” said Charron.
