On December 8th we will be distributing the donations on the streets of Toronto. We are in the process of making up packages to give to each individual. Hopefully these packages will include a scarf, hat, pair of mittens, pair of socks, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a non-perishable ready to eat food item. In order to make this happen, we are actively seeking toothbrushes, tubes of toothpaste and non-perishable food items. We also need to obtain gift boxes, wrapping paper and bows. If anyone knows where we can get these items or would like to personally donate, please contact me. Also, please contact me if you would like to come with us to Toronto to help hand the items out.
