WATERLOO, January 5, 2012 – Lutherwood thanks Ed and Stu Gibson and the entire Gibson’s Sound and Vision staff for their generous donation of a 40” flat screen TV to our Safe Haven youth shelter. From all of us at Lutherwood, thank you CTV and Gibson’s Sound and Vision for making Christmas just a bit brighter for kids in our community.

Through CTV's Spirit of Giving campaign, the Gibson’s donation was matched to Lutherwood’s Safe Haven program at the Betty Thompson Youth Centre. Safe Haven gives 12-15 year old children a safe alternative to living on the street while they sort out challenges with their families. On December 23, 2012, Ed and Stu Gibson personally delivered the TV, much to the delight of the youth who sought refuge at the shelter during the Christmas holidays.

“From the very beginning we had a very special culture where the staff cared about one another, and that was reflected in how they cared for our clients. It was a real team effort with a strong commitment to changing lives. It was a real privilege and honour to be part of such a dynamic organization, and I am proud of how it is carrying on its original legacy today.”
