It will begin in Montreal today, before expanding to Toronto and Vancouver.

“Mercedes-Benz Canada and its dealer network are delighted to be partnering with Kruger Products to deliver supplies to these vital front-line workers, doing our part to make their lives easier while they do the hard work of providing critical care to Canadians,” says Brian D.

Everyone involved is grateful to have the opportunity to support our communities right now, when it matters most.”

“We’re proud to partner with Mercedes-Benz to deliver care packages to Canada’s frontline healthcare workers during this challenging time.
