About Gifts with Vision
The
United Church of Canada developed the giving catalogue Gifts with
Vision in response to member requests to be able to give gifts
to relatives, friends, and loved ones that are in direct support of
the church’s Mission and Service partners across Canada and around
the world.
If
you are seeking inspiring new gift ideas or perhaps would rather not
give family and friends the same old clothes/toys/chocolates, Gifts
with Vision presents a new way to celebrate special occasions.
Give a gift that can help change people’s lives! Print catalogues
are now available in the entry to the church and gifts can also be
purchased online at www.giftswithvision.ca

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Trinity
United Church Flea Market and Bake Sale, Saturday, November 1st:
9:00 a.m. –
12 Noon.
439 MacLeod St. Mulgrave.
Come early for best items.
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 the
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
