This team of students is gathering winter gear – coats, hats, mitts, socks, and boots until the end of this week! The Dream Centre in Hamilton will be picking up the items to give to those in need this winter! Blessings and thanks to you for your generosity to date; it has been truly amazing!
Consider bringing in items when you join us for the Christmas Concert on Dec 12th.
