Christmas Caring Project November 12 - 26
We would like to thank you for your support with Drive Away Hunger last month. We have another caring project that we would like to share with you!
We are planning to help out the Steinbach Community Christmas by collecting items to fill their hampers that will be delivered before Christmas.
We have two projects planned.
The first is a toy drive which is for all students Kindergarten - Grade Four. We will be collecting new, unwrapped toys for children newborn to 17 years old ( no toy guns please ).
As well, we will be holding another food drive to help fill the Christmas hampers. We have decided to divide the items and ask house color to collect specific items.
We will be collecting the items from November 12 - November 26.
