We do more then food and furniture… We are also a clothing and computer bank, and the only one of it’s kind in Canada that does all of these.
We also offer life skills courses and basic IT courses for those getting back into the work place, and every Christmas we do up a dinner that includes everything you need to cook a nice meal at home. Plus we give toys to the kids.
This year we are doing up just over 900 Christmas boxes to be picked up, or delivered. The media covers it every year, and it’s a nice event. In fact myself, and usually my brother pass the turkeys off the back of one of our trucks. I can post a pic of us as well so you can all laugh. 😀
We also provide oil support for those who are having a hard time heating their homes.
Most of our funding we raise ourselves, or comes in via private donations. We don’t receive any government assistance.
I want to post the link to our website, and if you could maybe pass it along to friends and family, and if they would like to make a donation we have several options.
I hope this isn’t considered spam, because there is no profit to be gained here and I get nothing, and it will help people have a decent Christmas this year.
I am kind of going out on my own doing this, and haven’t run it by anyone at work. I have alot of flexibility tho, and I am sure the boss won’t mind, as long as the staff here is okay with it.
If not, of course I would understand if the thread is removed.

Our website is less then professional. I maintain it, and I am a technician, not a designer. Haha…
Thank you if you can allow this until at least after Christmas.
Mention my name too, and you may get an odd story or two. :T
My brother and I (I am on right.) last year passing out the hams and turkeys.
