Our communities are where we work, live, and play. It's our honour and responsibility to give back to those in need. We are proud to support charitable organizations through grants and annual initiatives:
In Our Community
The Dufresne Foundation
The Dufresne Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the communities we operate through the support of women, children, and health care.
Dream Big
We believe everyone deserves a good night's sleep. That's why Dufresne Furniture & Appliances has donated new mattresses to people in need since 2014. Dufresne invites community members and charitable organizations to request a bed for a person in need of a good night’s rest so they can dream bigger.
Children's Hospital Book Market
Dufresne proudly partners with Children’s Hospital Foundation to host book donation bins at our Manitoba locations. The Children’s Hospital Book Market has raised over $10 million to support child health care programs and improved patient experiences for sick and injured kids who need HSC Children’s Hospital—Manitoba’s only Children’s Hospital.
Habitat for Humanity
Mobilizing volunteers and community partners, Habitat for Humanity works with families from all walks of life to build safe, decent, affordable housing for purchase by low-income working families. Community-helping-community is something we are honoured to support as a Habitat for Humanity Build Sponsor.
Dufresne is proud to provide Habitat home builds with high efficiency appliances to make a house a home.
United Way Winnipeg
We continue to offer our team members the opportunity to give back and strengthen their community through annual pledge drive and team fundraising events. The United Way Winnipeg strengthens our community by focusing on programs that improve education, health and wellness throughout the city.
The Dufresne Foundation
Administered by a committee of volunteers, The Dufresne Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the communities we operate through the support of women, children, and health care. In it's 25th anniversary, The Dufresne Foundation gathered 1.6 million dollars for charities in the communities we operate.
Kids Dream Big
They deserve to have a good night’s sleep. That’s why Dufresne Furniture & Appliances is giving mattresses to kids who need them. Launching March 13, we’re inviting Dufresne communities to tell us about a young person with big dreams deserving of a good night’s rest. We’ll review all entries and in early April, surprise kids in our communities with a new bed!
Children's Hospital Book Market
Dufresne proudly partners with Children’s Hospital Foundation to host book donation bins at our Manitoba locations. The Children’s Hospital Book Market has raised over $10 million to support child health care programs and improved patient experiences for sick and injured kids who need HSC Children’s Hospital—Manitoba’s only Children’s Hospital.
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity offers a hand up, not a hand out. Community-helping-community is something we are honoured to support as a Habitat for Humanity Build Sponsor. We are proud to provide these projects with the furniture and appliances they need to make a house a home.
United Way Winnipeg
We continue to offer our team members the opportunity to give back and strengthen the community around them through our annual pledge drive and team fundraising events each fall. The United Way strengthens our communities by focusing on improving education, income and health in our communities.
