A Calgary non-profit agency that specializes in helping others just got a big boost from a Calgary tire store after 13 of its 14 vehicles had their tires slashed.
At first, it appeared that money from the non-profit's program funding budget would have to be used to replace the damaged tires.
Not only did they donate new tires, but they also donated employee time and expertise in order to get Alpha House back in business. “At Fountain Tire, we say, ‘We’re on this road together,’ and that includes pitching in when our community is in need,” said Fountain Tire Shepard owner Kelly Edye. “When we saw Alpha House’s story on the news, we knew we needed to do something – our store had the tires, tools and technicians to help.”
