In the spirit of strengthening our community, the SooToday Cares Team has made it our mission to create meaningful, long lasting and positive change in Sault Ste. Marie and the surrounding area.
We want to recognize the individuals and organizations who are taking action to make Sault Ste. Marie’s future brighter and highlight extraordinary people who are actively making a difference.
But we also want to take action ourselves, harnessing our ability to make meaningful connections across our platform.
The SooToday Cares Team knows that it takes a village. That is why our team is dedicated to providing a space on SooToday for people to come together, give back and empower local non-profits and changemakers.
Whether we are surprising deserving individuals with Random Acts of Kindness to brighten their day or helping fill the shelves at local food banks, our team is here to uplift the community, spread positivity and shed light on the stories and people that drive change.
The Cares Team is proud to work with our local business development & editorial teams to build partnerships in the community.
