Thank you Ferrero!

Thank you for spreading joy this season, Ferrero!

 Ferrero wanted to support our local downtown businesses and donated boxes of Ferrero Golden Gallery Signature to the Listowel BIA to use how we saw fit. While we could have given them to shoppers or used them as part of a promotion or giveaway, we made the decision to give them to many of our downtown businesses as a small token of our appreciation for everything they do for our community.


We believe our small businesses are the heart of our community and foster our local economy. This has been an unimaginable year and our small businesses have had to face unbelievable challenges. Not only have they done this, but they have continued to support each other and our community. We are so very impressed by our businesses.


Our coordinator was unable to deliver the boxes so we called on an amazing volunteer to randomly distribute the boxes. Thank you, Warren.


Thank you Ferrero for this donation to our downtown business community.
