Estevan MNP partners made two valuable and much-needed contributions to southeast community organizations this week.
On Monday, Ryan Stepp and David Hammermeister, who are partners with MNP in Estevan, presented Midale Mayor Allan Hauglum with a cheque for $15,000 that will be used for the Midale swimming pool. The money was raised by MNP’s local partners in Estevan and will go towards a much-needed new boiler for the large pool this summer.
“MNP has always been committed to supporting the communities in rural Saskatchewan where we live and work,” said Stepp. “We are proud to contribute to the improvement of the Midale swimming pool for families to enjoy this summer.”
Wednesday saw Stepp and Hammermeister visiting Creighton Lodge to make another donation.
Since there was no 4-H sale in Estevan this year, kids were tasked with selling their animals privately. One of the club members reached out to MNP, and partners decided to support them and purchased a steer, which was then processed and donated to Creighton Lodge.
Lodge manager Shelly Veroba said that the donation will help them a lot.
“We really appreciate it because a) beef is getting more and more expensive every day due to COVID-19, and b) it just helps us to keep the cost down here at the lodge, to have everybody that does come for our meals and we pride ourselves in our meals,” said Veroba. “So MNP are just going to partner with us to make sure that our meals for 2020 are going to be that much better.”
She added that they usually alternate different types of meat and fish on their menu. They also know a hundred different ways to cook beef and get creative with their meals, which allows them to have diversity while using up all the supplies.
Veroba expects that the beef donated by MNP will last them for about eight months.
“We really appreciate this. We can’t say thank you enough because it truly helps us with the seniors and it brightens their days, too. With the COVID-19 (it helps) to make sure they know that the community businesses are still thinking about them,” said Veroba.
