From August 31 to October 12, 2026, RONA+ and RONA stores will raise funds in support of nearly 150 local organizations that provide aid to vulnerable individuals across Canada

BOUCHERVILLE, QC, Aug. 31, 2026 /CNW/ -- The RONA Foundation, which oversees the philanthropic activities of RONA inc., one of Canada's leading home improvement retailers, operating and servicing over 425 corporate and affiliated stores, is launching the Home Sweet Home campaign today, marking its fourth consecutive year. Through this initiative, teams across the RONA network will mobilize to raise funds in support of nearly 150 non-profit organizations (NPOs) throughout Canada.

From August 31 to October 12, 2026, a fundraising campaign will be held in all RONA+ and RONA corporate stores, as well as some distribution centres and participating stores in RONA's affiliated dealer network. Funds raised will be used to support organizations that provide aid to victims of domestic violence, low-income families and individuals with special needs or mental health issues. Since it was created in 2023, the Home Sweet Home campaign has donated close to $2M to hundreds of NPOs across Canada. 

A campaign for local communities 

This year, the RONA Foundation is aiming to raise $500,000 through customer generosity and team engagement. "Home Sweet Home is much more than a fundraising campaign. It's an opportunity for our teams, all across Canada, to come together in support of causes of their own choosing that directly impact their community. This makes every donation especially meaningful, contributing to making a real impact at a local level, where it really matters," said Catherine Laporte, President of the RONA Foundation Board of Directors and Chief Digital and Marketing Officer at RONA inc. 

RONA customers can donate when they shop in store or online at rona.ca by selecting an amount of $2, $5 or $10. 

The list of supported organizations can be found on the Home Sweet Home campaign website.
