As alot of you know, I work at Parker Street Food and Furniture Bank.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

We also provide oil support for those who are having a hard time heating their homes.<\/p>\n

\n Most of our funding we raise ourselves, or comes in via private donations. We don’t receive any government assistance.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

If not, of course I would understand if the thread is removed.<\/p>\n

Parker Street Food and Furniture :: Welcome! ~ How You Can Help<\/a><\/p>\n

\n Our website is less then professional. I maintain it, and I am a technician, not a designer. Haha…<\/p>\n

Thank you if you can allow this until at least after Christmas.<\/p>\n

Mention my name too, and you may get an odd story or two. :T <\/p>\n

My brother and I (I am on right.) last year passing out the hams and turkeys.<\/p><\/div>\n
