- Holiday Charity Collection: In the run up to the holidays we are once again reaching out to members for gifts and items for two great causes; the Children’s Hospital Foundation Holiday Wish List, and TEAM’s Santa Paws:
- The Children’s Hospital Foundation is looking for new, unwrapped gifts that the hospital can give to their young patients. The greatest overall needs are gift cards, teen gifts, toys, infant rattles and board books. Click to see their Wish List.
- TEAM’s Santa Paws is collecting for a number of animal causes around Winnipeg who provide help and rescue shelters to care for cats, dogs, and other pets through the winter months. Click for more details.
Call Kelly at 204-984-9470 if you have items you wish to donate, or send her an email to arrange pickup, or you can drop them off at the TEAM office. If you would like to collect the gifts for your area, that would be a great help.
Your contributions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
