9th Annual Gift Basket Drive for Women's Shelter
[ 2009-Oct-04 ]
 


'Tis the Season to start on this years Gift Basket Drive for Women's Shelter.

Last season Shelley Porritt (Founder), with volunteers from all over the GTA created the AMAZING 2,350 gift baskets. This means that 2,350 women throughout Etobicoke, Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, East York, North York, Ajax, Scarborough, Milton, Oakville & Burlington received a gift during the holidays.

Below is the poster that we ask you to pass along to whomever you feel would be able to help in our drive. Please send to friends, family, coworkers & company contacts and post up where you can on bulletins, laundry rooms, etc. Every little bit helps.

This year the deadline for the donations is November 16th. The sorting of the product will be done on Saturday November 21st. The assembly of the baskets will be on Thursday November 26th, 27th, 28th & 29th. Reminder that this is a great chance for your teenagers to get some of their school volunteer hours.

No small children are allowed.

If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to give Shelley Porritt or Jodi Binning a call at

416-259-9639 or email us at annualgiftbasketdrive@live.com.

Together we can make a difference this holiday season.
