60 people braved the cold last month to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
The volunteers canvassed Thompson during Heart month. Thompson Coordinator Al Meston says this year was slow compared to other years beause of the cold. He adds that there has been a decline in donations over the years.
Meston is currently tallying up donations received in February. So far he’s at $9,000. He’s hoping to reach last year’s mark of $14,000.
He encourages people who weren’t visited by a volunteer, to donate online.
