Employees have been contributing to the Employee Donations Fund (EDF) at Dofasco since 1943. Through these donations, more than $4.9 million has been invested in our Hamilton, Burlington and Niagara area communities. From breakfast programs and camp opportunities to funding for community organizations, employees have created a legacy of making a difference and changing lives.
The EDF works on the premise that when many people contribute just a little, it adds up to a lot. Participating members make an automatic bi-weekly donation from their pay which is made in their name. The Employee Donations Fund is administered by the elected members of the Fund Advisory Committee.
Tomorrow, members of the Employee Donations fund will join Team Orange to officially present Foodshare Hamilton with $69,720.20 during their annual holiday packing and sorting event at the Foodshare warehouse. The EDF contributed $55,000 of this, while employee social committees have raised $9,720.20 through casual Fridays, bake sales and other fundraising initiatives. The company also contributed $5,000 on behalf of customers that participate in the annual President’s Day Golf Tournament.
