Wow! We are overwhelmed. So many people have pitched in to help out with this effort to bring warmth to some of the homeless in Toronto this Saturday. (Keep reading.
We still need help with 1 thing). Neighbours, friends, businesses, and community groups have donated needed items to keep others warm. People have donated finances to fill in the gaps (some gloves and underwear), and home made goodies and fruit to make this a welcoming gathering where we can sit and visit and share with those less fortunate. Thank you, thank you! Yesterday we picked up a box of donations collected by Halton Hills Christian School, last week we picked up underwear donated by The Milton Firepower Cross Fit She-Beasts, and Today we received a box of toothbrushes and toothpaste to clean off all those sweet treat "sugar bugs" from Dr. Shelia Wong's office in Milton. We will be picking up carafes from Milton bible church to serve hot chocolate. Thank you all, and all the friends and neighbours who donated items and finances, and encouragement! It ALL matters, it ALL helps, and we are so grateful. One last request...Who wants to come and help be a part of this on Saturday? We will take whatever time you can give. Please send me a message for details. We would love any help and are especially in need of a few more guys to join us, since as the kids have discovered in their research, most homeless people are men between the ages of 21 and 45. Let us know if you'd like to spend some time getting to know some of the homeless in our city this Saturday!
