Sobey's Receipts Are Valuable
Atlantic Provinces Special Education AuthorityAuxiliary
The Auxiliary meets the first Thursday of each month, at 9:30 AM at the APSEA Centre 5940 South Street.
New members are always welcome.
The purpose of the Auxiliary is to raise funds for children and youth who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Blind, or Visually Impaired. Our mandate includes students who live in residence, short term placements, day students, and approximately 1700 students throughout the Atlantic Provinces through the off campus program.
The main objectives of the Auxiliary are:
- To provide the students with special toys and equipment to enhance development of their sensory, motor and communication skills.
- To provide the Centre with technical equipment which will assist the students in their learning process.
- To continue the operation of the Toy Library for students in residence and throughout the Atlantic Provinces.
Fund raising events include the Fall Fair in November, and the Bridge Marathon and Social, in the spring as well as grocery tape refunds and other projects.
The Auxiliary is further supported by donations from individuals, church groups, community organizations and businesses.
Your donations are always appreciated, these can be monetary or items for use in the classrooms or sale items for the Fall Fair tables. Cheques may be made payable to the APSEA Auxiliary. Receipts will be issued upon request.

For close to a century, Sobeys has been a leading corporate citizen in the communities we serve. Today, we are a vital participant in the social and economic well being in close to 900 local communities in all parts of Canada.
We believe in giving back to the communities where we do business – as do our franchise affiliates and thousands of employees who generously donate financially as well as volunteering their time to support community causes.
Our corporate philanthropy is focused on major programs that promote the well being and health of families and children, as well as supporting store based initiatives in local communities.
In fiscal 2004, we supported hundreds of charities across Canada, ranging from Kids Help Phone and Children’s Wish Foundation to United Way/Centraide and Easter Seals as well as hospitals, sports and recreational programs and community food banks. In addition, the Sobeys scholarship program supports eligible employees, their children and spouses with continuing university education.
The APSEA
Ladies Auxiliary has been collecting Sobey’s receipts for many years. These receipts are totaled by them and
turned in to Sobey’s. Sobey’s, in turn,
makes a donation to the APSEA Ladies Auxiliary amounting to ˝ of 1% of the total value of the
receipts.
The money is used for the children's needs which are not
met by Government funding.
