Hamper Update

Yesterday after school, Athlone School's Christmas Hamper was delivered to a very happy and thankful family. The kids were especially sweet with their 'thank-yous' and wishes for a 'Merry Christmas'.

It certainly helped to wash away some of the stress this time of year can bring and replaced it with the feelings of what is really important...people you care about; spending time together; and sharing our great good fortune with those who have not been so blessed.

A very big thank you to all you contributed to the hamper project. Your generosity will be well-appreciated by those three young children and their mom during this holiday season.

It never ceases to amaze me..how easily this community so willingly jumps aboard such a project and gives of themselves with such kindness and warmth.

Many, many thanks.

Warm Hands and Toasty Toes

Dear Families,

Athlone Students would like to spread their warmth and generousity by donating socks, undergarments, and mittens to Siloam Mission. We know that Winnipeg winters can be harsh. The Siloam Mission provides a safe shelter for community members that are less fortunate and do not have access to warm clothing, hot meals, and/or a safe place to sleep. Please help us, spread the warmth of the season by donating new mittens, undergarments, and socks to the Siloam Mission. Mittens, undergarments, and socks can be donated until December 20th. Thank you for your support.



Sincerely,
The Green Hearts Club
