Sara a happy toy seller at Loblaws on Moore

Here’s Sara from the Canadian Property Stars charity arm Charity Fundraising Events (CFE). The busy Sara was selling toys at Loblaws at Bayview and Moore Aves.  She seemed to be doing pretty well.  The Property Stars firm is, as the name hints, a property maintenance company. CFE says it donates 20% of net income from all product sales (in this case it was toys) to CPS chosen registered charities and 100% of all toys purchased and placed by customers in the on-site receptacles which are then donated to established holiday toy-collection charities. CPS has quite a pleasant story. One of their reasons for doing charity work is fun, they say. And also, as their website notes, the seasonal property maintenance industry is super-competitive and involves long, tiring days filled with hard labour, equipment issues and constant logistical challenges. Charity in the off season is an exciting way, they say, for staff to keep working without having to endure “the same wear-and-tear on their bodies that they go through each spring and summer.” Ouch.
