This year The Gear Centre Group of Companies is showing their support of the Canadian Armed Forces by donating Christmas gifts to the children of our military families at the Edmonton Garrison Military Family Resource Centre on December 13, 2017.

For over 25 years the Edmonton Garrison Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) has been committed to enriching the lives of individuals and families in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) through positive action, education and support.

Absences from family support systems, difficulties  during deployments, solo parenting  or coping with an injury or loss are realities for military families: realities which can have a significant impact on family well-being.

Established in 1989, the MFRC has been committed to supporting military families as they navigate these unique challenges through programs and services that enhance the strength and resilience of military families.

Between November 15, 2017, and December 13, 2017, The Gear Centre Group and our partner companies are running our Second Annual TGCG Food Bank Drive in support of our local food banks. Food collected at each branch will go to that city’s local food bank to help those in need in our community over the holidays.

One CAN make a difference with a small donation of food to help the 860,000 Canadians who use a food bank each month. Our branches will be supporting Edmonton’s Food Bank, Surrey Food Bank, Lethbridge Food Bank, Medicine Hat and District Food Bank, Calgary Food Bank, Red Deer Food Bank, Wood Buffalo Food Bank Association, The Mississauga Food Bank, Food Depot Alimentaire in Moncton, NB, and The Salvation Army in Grande Prairie.
