Core Value: Proudly Serve Our Communities
Sarah runs the Mommy Chain, an online support group for mothers from the Oxford County area where they can share and help each other with difficult life situations. “We help families who have just had a baby, who are going through sickness or who just need extra support,” she says. “I want to make sure that the moms in my community know that I am genuine and that we all need to reach out to one another. It takes on that whole idea of it takes a village to raise your kids.” Sarah collects children’s Halloween costumes all year round and then offers them for free at an exchange party every fall. Not only do kids come in a pick out their costumes, they get a treat provided by Sobeys and the moms get a chance to socialize. As a mother, Sarah works to show her own four children the importance of giving back. “I strive every day to teach them about being kind and loving our community.”
