Shoppers Drug Mart recently donated over $11,400 to Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives (RCRG), in support of the local charity’s Relax, Recharge, Reset caregiver workshop series.

The workshops, which are free to attend, give family caregivers an opportunity to try different stress reduction activities, including mindful meditation, laughter yoga, and tai chi.

The funding will allow the workshop series to continue through March 2021.

“This partnership will positively impact the health and well-being of Richmond seniors,” said Ed Gavsie, president and CEO of RCRG.

“By making such a significant contribution, Shoppers Drug Mart has further shown its commitment to both family caregivers and our community.”
