Business Cares Food Drive
Every December Chorley + Bisset staff and their families volunteer in support of the annual Business Cares food drive, helping collect food and monetary donations for the London Food Bank. Business Cares is a community giving initiative organized every year in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This year's campaign brought in the equivalent of 681,500 lbs of food, going to support families in need throughout London and surrounding communities. C+B is pleased to take part in this annual event and we look forward to participating again.

Charitable Donation Initiative
In 2022 Chorley + Bisset established a new Employee Charitable Donation Initiative with the goal of providing an avenue and opportunity for employees to support and rally around causes and charities that are important to fellow team members. The first couple years of this new initiative proved extremely successful with over $20,000 raised annually through employee donations that were matched by Chorley + Bisset. A cheque was recently presented to each of the 2023 charities: the Canadian Mental Health Association and St. Joseph's Health Care Foundation Society.
Forest City Road Race
C+B employees volunteered at the Forest City Road Races by operating a water station along the course. It was a great team exercise and a beautiful day to be outdoors. Congratulations to all the participants, we look forward to seeing you next year!
Habitat for Humanity
Chorley + Bisset employees were proud to be able to participate in a day of building hope for our local community. A group of 10 employees traded in their pens and pencils for a tool belt and got to work on a Habitat For Humanity work site a short distance from the office. The weather was beautiful and a great time was had by all working up a sweat for a good cause! We look forward to participating again in future… Keep up the great work Habitat for Humanity!
Christmas Toy Drive
Every year the staff of Chorley + Bisset donate toys to the Salvation Army Toy Drive and the company matches their contribution.
London Health Sciences
Chorley + Bisset donated $75,000 to LHSC in 2018, to be distributed over 5 years. We recently gave a $50,000 pledge, bringing our cumulative total to nearly $220,000, and are members of the London Health Sciences Foundation Victoria Society (for donors of $100,000-$499,000). Donations like ours help enable the hospital to invest in key technologies, equipment, and patient initiatives.
