This past December, something special happened around the tables at Kelseys in St. Catharines. Through our Gather & Give campaign—hosted under CAA Niagara’s Partners for Good initiative—Members came together to share a meal and make a meaningful impact close to home.
From December 3–8, CAA Members enjoyed 10% off their meals at participating Kelseys locations in the City of St. Catharines. At the same time, an additional 10% of every eligible bill was donated to Toolbox Project Niagara, helping provide essential care packages to those experiencing homelessness across our region during the holiday and giving season.
Thanks to the generosity of our Members and the partnership of the St. Catharines Kelseys teams, the campaign raised $1,000 in support of the Toolbox Project.
Gather & Give was built on a simple idea: everyday moments can create extraordinary impact. A casual dinner with family. A lunch out with colleagues. A pre-holiday catch-up with friends. Each visit contributed directly to care packages filled with essential items and small comforts. Reminders that our community sees and supports those navigating difficult circumstances.
This initiative reflects what Partners for Good is all about: connecting local businesses, our Members, and community organizations in ways that are practical, purposeful, and deeply local.
We are grateful to the dedicated teams at the St. Catharines Kelseys locations for their enthusiasm and collaboration throughout the campaign. Their commitment to giving back made it easy for Members to participate and amplified the impact beyond the dining room.
The $1,000 raised will directly support Toolbox Project Niagara’s efforts to provide care packages to the unhoused population across Niagara this winter—offering practical essentials and a tangible reminder that they are not alone.
To everyone who gathered, gave, and helped spread the word, thank you. Your meal made a difference.
