About Gifts with Vision

ones that are in direct support of the church’s Mission and Service

MAD Computers and Sandi’s Barbershop
have launched a joint campaign called Family Needs. The purpose
of this endeavor is to provide good quality used outerwear to needy
families. There are many families in the Strait Area
struggling, especially in winter to make ends meet. The rising
cost of fuel and electricity make it difficult for families to feed
and clothe their families plus pay their bills.
Anne, Sandi, and Angie have begun
collecting snowsuits, winter jackets, coats, boots and skates at both
establishments. Sizes range from infant to youth and teens to
early 20s or college age.
If you have items for this project,
please drop them off at MAD Computers, 3 Summit Drive Port Hawkesbury
or Sandi’s Barbershop at the Town Center (Chediac Plaza) Reeves
St. Phone numbers are as follows: MAD Computers –
625-0894 and Sandi’s Barbershop – 625-1500.
If you do not have
items of clothing but would still like to help, please pick up a gift
certificate from one of the local consignment shops. This will
be used in lieu of garments. Also, if you have clothing which
is not suitable for the project, but you wish to donate, you may take
them to one of the consignment shops and tell the shop staff that you
would like to donate the revenue from the garments to Family Needs.
When the garments are sold, the money will be credited to Family
Needs and may be redeemed by Anne, Sandi, or Angela. If a
family is in need one of us will contact the consignment shop and we
will present the family with a voucher which may be redeemed at the
shop.
If you know someone
who is in need, please ask them to call one of the individuals listed
above.
The businesses involved are delighted
to be working together and hope that you will join us in assisting
Strait families in need. Also, please like us on FaceBook and
Share our page so that others in the Strait Area will become aware of
the existence of this service
