“When we know ourselves to be connected to all others, acting compassionately is simply the natural thing to do.” – Rachel Naomi Remen
During the Calgary Parkland Community Associations Winterfest on February 24, Parkland Cares collected items for AARCS: Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society. We delivered a big pile of clean, good condition towels, clumping cat litter, and HE laundry detergent, dish soap, and pet toys and treats!
From February 1 to 29 we worked with Basically Babies, a Calgary charity that helps families with newborns in extreme need. This organization provides these families with a beautiful first-year layette. For the whole month, we asked for your donations of clean, good quality, gently used or new baby clothing (Sized 0 to 24 months) and small baby supplies or items. Thank you so very much for your support of this amazing organization.
Happy birthday bags are here again! This spring we are planning to bring back our amazing initiative supplying Birthday Bags for the Calgary Food Bank. We will be collecting items from April 1 to 18 at Park 96 and the Lake Bonavista Community Association. The birthday bag assembly day will be Saturday, April 20 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at Park 96.
