Mastronardi Produce® Donates $10K to Local Children's Camp; Mel Mastronardi, Karen Seguin, and Milla Mastronardi Comment



KINGSVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA - Lending a helping hand to its community, Mastronardi Produce® recently donated $10,000 toward facility upgrades at Gesstwood Camp and Education Centre in Essex. The camp is well-known throughout the community where local children attend ropes courses and do outdoor learning activities.

Mastronardi Produce has supported the camp under its SUNSET® brand for several years and donates fresh produce for the campers all summer.

Mel Mastronardi, Community Project Coordinator, Mastronardi Produce®“Our family and the SUNSET team are very invested in the local community. So many children in Windsor-Essex have enjoyed coming here for outdoor learning and making friends while being close to home. It is a place we want to keep around for years to come, and we’re proud to support their cause,” remarked Mel Mastronardi, Community Project Coordinator.

As a press release outlined, a check presentation took place yesterday, with Milla Mastronardi, Marketing Intern, speaking on behalf of the family to Gesstwood campers and staff. The check itself was presented to Gesstwood Executive Director Karen Seguin.

"The Board extends our deepest gratitude to Mastronardi Produce and the SUNSET team for this donation and all their support over the years,” stated Seguin. “As a small non-profit, Gesstwood relies heavily on grants and donations, and these funds are crucial to maintaining a camp environment that is safe and comfortable so that our campers take home amazing memories to last a lifetime.”

A group of campers presented a hand-painted sign with “Thank you, SUNSET” written across it, after which Mastronardi Produce gave out swag such as activity books and backpack/luggage tags.
