Kalesnikoff Employees Spread Christmas Cheer

Kalesnikoff employees have been busy this holiday season.

50 local Nelson and Castlegar families were given a helping hand, breaking last year’s record of 47 families. Throughout the year, employees voluntarily contributed $10,000 dollars through payroll deductions which was matched by the company.  A 50/50 draw helped bring that total to $25,000, beating last year’s total by $5,000.

The Salvation Army in Nelson and the Castlegar and District Community Service Society helped distribute the much appreciated bundles.
