Richmond-based Saint Germain Bakery at Aberdeen Centre raised more than $12,000 to benefit Richmond Hospital Foundation's emergency department.
The bakery hosted a charity sale where all proceeds on Oct. 6 were donated to the local hospital.
“Richmond Hospital’s Emergency Department is an important place the community relies on for urgent health care needs,” said Mickey Zhao, CEO of Saint Germain Bakery.
“A well-resourced department is crucial for helping patients access the care they need quickly and efficiently. By working together, we are able to make a meaningful contribution towards the hospital and our community. We look forward to more opportunities to give back and benefit more people in the future.”
Funds from the sale will be used to provide essential resources for urgent medical care at Richmond Hospital, which sees between 150 to 200 patients a day.
“We wish to thank Saint Germain Bakery for their generous donation,” said Spencer Gall, chief philanthropy officer at Richmond Hospital Foundation.
“The Emergency Department is a place where many turn to when seeking urgent health care for physical and mental ailments. Thanks to Saint Germain Bakery’s contribution, as well as everyone who participated in the charity sale, their support and generosity will help improve care and efficiency in the Emergency Department, allowing health care teams to provide the best possible outcomes for patients.”
