CORNWALL – Members of a local building supplies store put down their tape measures and took time over the holidays to help those in need.

Cornwall Home Depot management delivered backpacks to the Children’s Aid Society of SD&G.

They were filled with essential items donated by store associates to help the homeless – especially homeless youth.

Then at the Boys and Girls Club of Cornwall/SDG, gifts were dropped off.

“They (the management team) brought gifts to help make the holidays a little brighter for a local family,” Assistant Store Manager Dave Bouchard said.
