November 13 collection drive welcomes non-perishable food, school supplies, toiletries and more
A “community pantry” project has recently been approved by 14 Wing Greenwood, and will be placed in the hallway outside the 14 Wing Chaplains’ office, in the AVM Morfee Centre, School Road. This initiative will help Defence Team members and their immediate families living on or off base.
The concept is simple: leave what you can and take what you need.
To launch the program, a donation drive for non-perishable food and non-food items (toiletries, school supplies, etc) will be held between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., Thursday, November 13; outside the Wing Chaplains’ building entrance from School Road. Participation is completely voluntary; all appropriate items are welcome, and no donation is too small. There is a list of acceptable and non-acceptable donation items available.
Your contributions in the November 13 collection drive, and on an on-going basis as you are able, will strengthen 14 Wing’s sense of community and mutual support.
The pantry is tentatively scheduled to open November 26.
