Just a reminder - Tomorrow and Sunday we are holding a 'warm clothing drive' .. all warm clothing etc (blankets, sleeping bags, hats, gloves, scarves, p;arkas will be distributed to various shelters and non[-profit groups in the GTA, in particular, Toronto and York Region... to help keep homeless people stay warm...
This drive is a joint-venture with FRUGALS OUTLET and STEELES & 4O4 FLEA MARKET.... These are corporate sponsors who assist us with collecting items for other charity operations such as used eyeglasses for the CNIB, clothing to be donated to Scott Mission, and we've had help from them in getting new packing boxes for moving, sealable bins for clothing when you are being fumigated and so on.
As a "THANK YOU" - the Flea Market is giving every donor at least $3 to be spent in the Market, or donated back to the charity receiving the items at the end of the event....
IF YOU DON'T DRIVE, we are trying to find volunteer drivers who will do pickups (the 2 organizations will cover the cost of gas)...
DROP OFF is at 2900 Steeles Ave East (Steeles & Don Mills Rd) this weekend between 10 AM and 5 PM.
