(Cochrane, AB) - This holiday season the Town of Cochrane is rallying the community to support local families in need. Building on the remarkable success of last weekend's 40th annual Cochrane Light Up, the Town has launched the "Download for Donations" campaign, pledging to donate $1 to the Cochrane Food Bank for every download of the Town of Cochrane App.
From now until December 15, the Town will contribute $1 to the Cochrane Food Bank for every download of the Town of Cochrane app, up to $5,000. This campaign empowers residents to give back while gaining access to community information, emergency alerts and local services - all through their mobile devices.
“Since launching in October, the Town of Cochrane app has received over 2,000 downloads. We are incredibly encouraged by the participation of resident that want to be more involved in municipal news, services and community events,” says Kristin Huybrecht, Manager of Corporate Communications, Town of Cochrane. “The goal of the app is to help residents connect with us and the community around them. This initiative checks all the boxes: raising awareness about this useful tool, supporting the community and spreading cheer this holiday season.”
The “download for donations” challenge was inspired by the generosity seen at Cochrane Light Up and other fundraising initiatives promoted during the holiday season.
“Cochrane’s generosity and community spirit are shining bright this holiday season” says Mayor Jeff Genung, Town of Cochrane. “This year’s 40th Light Up at The Station was a great reminder of how we can come together to make a difference. The ‘Download for Donations’ campaign not only supports the Cochrane Food Bank but also highlights a great way to stay connected as a community”
As the holiday season approaches, this campaign provides a simple way for residents to give back while supporting local families. Each download not only brings the Town closer to its $5,000 goal but also strengthens community connections by promoting generosity and engagement.
