“Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.” -Charles M. Schulz
Wishing you and your loved ones all the best this season. Stay warm, stay safe, stay connected.
In October, between Bonavista Cares and Parkland Cares, we donated 12 large boxes of food, and $1300 to the Veterans Association Food Bank. What amazing communities we live in!
The Lovin’ Ladles Soup fundraiser brough in $410, which will go towards our Adopt-A-Family and Christmas Grocery Gift Card Collection for families in need. Thanks again for all your support. We sure love our warm soup.
December:
Deer Park United Church Adopt-A-Family: We are hoping to make teams again and help 3 local Calgary families fill their Christmas wish lists. These families have limited resources and greatly appreciate the Christmas joy we share with them in the packages.
Grocery Gift Card Collection: These cards will help local families in need celebrate the season. Families to receive the cards will be identified through local schools. Initiative runs December 1 to 13. Contact us for drop off location.
Please contact us if you have ideas for ways to encourage strong community connections, or if you would like to help with any of our planned events.
We are hoping our next planning meeting will be Tuesday, January 12 at 7:15 at Park96 or by Zoom. We would love to see you there.
