Hey all,
As we all know now, the winter season has finally arrived, which means cold nights and wind-burned faces. Sal and I have decided that we are going to start up our own little clothing drive for the Mustard Seed church here in Edmonton (one of our mom's volunteers there). So this is what we're going to do: I've attached a poster that Sal made listing what is really needed. I know that you've all got jackets you don't wear anymore and clothes that don't fit - these people need them more than you do!
The Mustard Seed is the last stop for them before they're on the street, after the shelters and food banks!
For food, please try to avoid pastas, as they already have so much! Baby and adult toiletries are always needed (unused, please!!) Anything you can give is welcome! So what we can do is get all of your stuff together and then meet somewhere next week, say thursday or friday night and we'll get it all so it can be taken in one load.
If you have questions or anything, just let me know. Think of this as a really nice (early) Christmas gesture.
thanks, guys!

What a great idea and plan you have! It is getting cold and I know that stuff will be needed. Socks are a great item too as they always seem to run low on them. One guy came in last year in sandals after a heavy snow and asked if he could have some. They fixed him up with boots and socks.Combs, toothpaste,shampoo and conditioner{those small bottles as it is less to carry}and underwear.
