Troubled Monk Brews Up Hand Sanitizer for Desperate Businesses and Non-Profits

ReDiscover Red Deer – COVID-19 Response

The good people at Troubled Monk are at it again. Faced with a challenging stretch due to the COVID-19 economic downturn Troubled Monk got creative. Having heard about other breweries who started using brewing equipment to produce hand sanitizer, Charlie Bredo decided that would be the right move for Troubled Monk as well.

Being the community minded folks that they are, Troubled Monk decided this would be a good opportunity to give back. While providing hand sanitizer to local businesses desperate for a supply, they’ll also be providing hand sanitizer to a few fortunate non-profits.. for free!

If you’re with one of those businesses or non-profits desperate for hand sanitizer you can get more information at [email protected].

If you need some for home, keep your eye on Todayville.com and Troubled Monk social media channels. They hope to have good news for you later in March.

After 15 years as a TV reporter with Global and CBC and as news director of RDTV in Red Deer, Duane set out on his own 2008 as a visual storyteller. During this period, he became fascinated with a burgeoning online world and how it could better serve local communities. This fascination led to Todayville, launched in 2016.

We’ve received a donation of use of a Dodge Caravan from Southside Dodge- they’ve been an incredible support of us over the years. Attached is the photo we took at the dealership when we picked up the keys on Friday.

Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta, Red Deer House is truly grateful to Matt Swainson and his entire team at Southside Dodge for their steadfast support of our work to keep families together during the unimaginable hardship of the need to travel for medical treatment for their sick or injured child. Our House is not a nice to have, but a need to have, and we are honoured to work with such an amazing community partner in Southside. The use of the 2021 Dodge Caravan will help us to keep our operating costs down so that we can focus on our work to keep families close.

We have operated in the city for over 8 years, ensuring there is a safe and comfortable place for families to rest while they focus on the recovery of their child(ren).

We are grateful to everyone in Red Deer who supports us! 😊

Published on January 18, 2021

Todayville

The holiday season is well behind us, we’re heading into the coldest part of the winter, and although the days are starting to grow longer there’s still a definite lack of daylight in our lives. The winter blues are a real thing and this year we have COVID, a whole new serious problem to add to our mental health issues.

COVID is also the reason the Smiles Thru Lindsey team has not been able do public events for many months. Unable to reach out physically through school visits and fund raisers, Smiles Thru Lindsey is reminding Central Albertans to check in on each other. Also, please follow the Smiles Thru Lindsey Facebook page . They’ll lead you to the resources you or your loved ones need right away.

Meet Lindsey and the Smiles Thru Lindsey team in this powerful video. …And remember to check in on the people in your life.
