Hey there folk!

You know that when it is the season of giving, it is also the season of cold and bleak weather. The 5 and 2 Ministries are looking for your help in assisting those who live out in the elements during this cold and bleak time of year.

The plan is to collect gift cards and other financial donations from now until December 29th, 2009. These will in turn purchase items that the homeless can use to survive. As posted in their facebook event details, the following is a list of retailers the 5 and 2 Ministries need gift cards from and the items they will purchase for the homeless:

“The Real Canadian Superstore: food and clothing
Wal Mart: food, operational needs and clothing
Costco: food, dinner supplies and clothing
Little Caesars: community dinners
Starbucks: coffee for street outreach
Gas Stations Fuel Cards: transportation needs to facilitate goods and service distribution
Tim Hortons: coffee for street outreach
Zellers: food, operational needs and clothing
Canadian Tire: homeless supplies candles tarps, and similar items
Save On Foods: food supplies
PriceSmart: food supplies
Safeway: food supplies

We are also accepting Canadian Tire money an item we have been accepting for years which helps us meet the needs of our community. Additionally individuals wishing to contribute financially please make cheques payable to Freshwind and write The 5 and 2 in the memo line. If you can think of any other cards that may be useful let us know.“

Be CIVL! Cultivate community!
