Canadian Food for Children - October Requests

Food (non-perishable)is the greatest need, but donations of good quality items and clothing, especially children’s clothing are also accepted. Each month we highlight additional needs.
October: Food (rice, pasta, oatmeal, milk powder, crackers, canned tomato products, salt, canned meats) good used clothing & shoes / Hygiene items / Household (dish detergent, string, candles, scrub brushes, tents, large tarps, dish towels, linens)
Donations can be dropped off in the Lenhard Room Cupboard. Your gifts of love will go to the poorest of poor, via established missions in many countries. Thank you
