“Nacho Cheeseburger” raises nearly $800 for Vantage Community Services

Jan 19, 2021 | 8:36 AM

We’ll take all the air high 5’s we can after another challenging month, but the spirit of giving was alive and well in December for the “Nacho Cheeseburger” Burger of the Month.

This time we teamed up with Guest Chef Sheena Johnson of the Bra Lounge to celebrate her love of tacos and Mexican food! Her burger included a beef patty, queso spread, house made guacamole and pico de gallo topped with fried tortilla chips on a brioche bun! $2 from every burger sold is going directly to Sheena’s charity of choice Vantage Community Services.

Sheena lost her mother at a young age and having lived in a community with limited resources to help her and her family through that grief, she wanted to help support programs and other families faced with loss.

For over 30 years, Vantage Community Services has provided a continuum of services designed to meet the needs of their Central Alberta community. They are guided by the principles of developing capacity with an emphasis on effective coping skills, making meaning of one’s experiences and an ability to form healthy relationships.

Vantage provides a number of services including focused counselling and group therapy which children seeking help with their grieving can utilize. BOOM! Thanks to your support of our beloved Burger of the Month Program today Sheena helped us hand over $768 to Vantage Community Services.
