Parkland Cares is a community-based organization of families and neighbours committed to helping others.
Embracing that fall feeling? 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, Parkland, for all the returnable donations at the Parkland Community Cleanup Day. We made $301 at the depot and received over $160 in cash donations. These funds will go towards our Christmas initiatives. Those volunteers worked hard!
