In Our Community

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:

The Dufresne Foundation

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

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.

play for a purpose

Play for a Purpose

Each year, our team members, business partners, and friends hit the links for our charity golf tournament. All proceeds go towards charitable initiatives in our communities. We are grateful for our sponsors and donors, and their continued support to make a difference where it matters most.

While we have postponed the 2020 golf tournament, we’ll be back in 2021 raising much needed funds for our communities.

 

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.

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.

Our team members, business partners, and friends hit the links for our annual golf tournament. All proceeds go towards a variety of charitable initiatives in our communities and those in need. We are grateful for our sponsors and donors, and their continued support to make a difference where it matters most.

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.
