\"Buy a Coffee\" for a Participant from Centre 507<\/a><\/h3>

During Lent we will be collecting cans of medium ground caffeinated coffee to give to Centre 507. Tins of coffee can be left at the greeters' stations and they will be brought to the office following the service. The coffee will then be taken upstairs to Centre 507. By giving to Centre 507, you give to the participants. To some, a coffee is like \"a hug in a mug\".<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Christmas Hamper Project 2021 Successfully Completed!<\/a><\/h3>

This year we gave out 178 hampers, which represented over 500 individuals. Each recipient was referred to us through a Drop In or Emergency Food Centre. Each hamper contains gift cards that should provide groceries for a week, a warm greeting card, and personalized gift. The success of this project depends on many volunteers to adopt, pack, and deliver these hampers. Equally necessary are the financial donations which allow us to purchase gift cards. To undertake a project of this size we depend on people to organize the volunteers. A huge thank you to the organizing team. Thank you to all those who partnered in the Christmas Hamper Project. Your participation made someone's Christmas a little brighter.<\/b>\n

\nA donation to the Christmas Hamper fund can still be made at: www.centretownunited.org\/xmashamperproject<\/b><\/a> . \nIf donations are so generous that we receive additional funds, they will be shared with the Centretown Emergency Food Centre and Centre 507 to assist recipients, who struggle to make ends meet throughout the entire year.

\nThank you for your interest and support of the Christmas Hamper Project!!\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
