Sweater weather is better together. Parkland and Bonavista Cares have many upcoming opportunities to warm your heart.
We had a very productive planning meeting in September. There were lots of great ideas and helping hands.
Thank you, Calgary Parkland Community Association, for organizing the drop-off location for all the returnable donations at the Parkland Cleanup Day. We made just over $260 at the depot and received several cash donations as well. These funds will go towards our winter and Christmas initiatives. Those volunteers worked hard!
Here are some great upcoming opportunities to make community connections.
November:
• November 1 to 20: Collecting new socks and toiletries for our Warm Feet Warm Hearts initiative.
• November 1 and 2 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm: Christmas Craft Market at Park96. Look for our table.
• Warm Feet & Warm Hearts volunteer package assembly day is Saturday, November 22 from 1:30 to 2:30 pm at the LBCA.
• Senior Secret Service Teams and Gifts: We have requested five local seniors to sponsor and shop for this year.
December:
• Adopt-A-Family Christmas Gifts.
• Collecting grocery gift cards for local schools to support families in need.
Keep an eye out for upcoming information about a new initiative aimed at helping to reduce loneliness and isolation in our senior population. Let us know if you have ideas for combating this in Parkland.
Drop off locations at Lake Bonavista Community Association and Park 96. Reach out to us for more information or if you have ideas for making great community connections.
