Maxi Fundraiser

On the weekend of September 6th, fifty Coptic Orphans volunteers swarmed through the Maxi grocery store in Quebec, Canada to bag groceries for four days in order to benefit vulnerable children in Egypt. They introduced new people to Coptic Orphans and spread the message that giving vulnerable children in Egypt the tools that they need to break the cycle of poverty is in everyone’s reach.

By Sunday, they broke the Maxi store fundraising record by raising $3,400. twenty five percent of the proceeds from the event will benefit the President’s Choice Maxi Foundation for Children so that they can purchase much needed medical equipment for children. The other $2,530 will directly benefit orphaned and other vulnerable children in Egypt through Coptic Orphans.

Congratulations to these dedicated volunteers from all of us.

If you missed the Maxi event, you can still make a difference. Volunteers are the backbone of Coptic Orphans. We work with children in Egypt through a network of hundreds of dedicated volunteers, and volunteers here can make just as big of a difference.
