Small local winery launches campaign to support industry members in need.

Langley, BC - Township 7 Vineyards & Winery is proud to announce the launch of its fifth annual Support, Ship & Sip charity campaign, benefiting an essential industry organization - the BC Hospitality Foundation (BCHF). Dedicated to assisting hospitality and tourism workers facing unexpected health challenges, BCHF has provided critical support to over 300 individuals since its inception in 2006.

In the month of May, Township 7 will donate $10 from every online purchase to the BCHF, in addition to collecting direct donations on behalf of the charity. The campaign has been moved to May in 2024 as historically it is a strong month for online sales with the release of our spring wines, we want to ensure we maximise our return to this important cause. These contributions will directly aid BCHF's mission of providing essential financial assistance to those in need within the hospitality industry.

"As a member of the hospitality community, we understand the challenges faced by our peers," said Mike Raffan, General Manager, Township 7 Vineyard & Winery."We are grateful for the support of our customers and community in helping us make a positive impact through Support, Ship & Sip. Together, we can make a difference for those in our industry who need it most."

“Our industry, like others have faced so many challenges over the past few years. The need to support individuals has dramatically increased. We couldn’t do what we do without the support of our donors, and fundraising campaigns like Support, Ship & Sip with Township 7.” remarked Alana Dickson, Executive Director of the BC Hospitality Foundation.

Supporters can join Township 7 Winery in their efforts by visiting township7.com during the month of May to make a purchase or make a direct donation.
