Gorman Group has kept its holiday turkey tradition alive.
The West Kelowna lumber company has once again spread holiday cheer by giving turkeys to each and every one of its nearly 900 employees. It’s a custom that has spanned most of the company’s 73-year history.
Many of the employees chose to donate their turkeys to local food banks, resulting in more than 780 pounds being donated. They also contributed around 500 pounds of non-perishable food items, bringing the total donation to more than 1,280 pounds of food that went directly to the Central Okanagan Food Bank and other local charities.
“At Gorman Group, fostering a culture of care and gratitude is at the heart of what we do,” CEO Nick Arkle said in a press release. “Our annual turkey handout is a way to show appreciation for our employees’ dedication while supporting the communities that sustain us.”
Gorman Group consists of five businesses throughout B.C. and Washington state: Gorman Bros. Lumber in West Kelowna, Downie Timber in Revelstoke, Canoe Forest Products in Canoe, B.C., Lumby Pole and Oroville Reman & Reload in Oroville, Wash.
