Hi
to everyone at Blankets
for Canada Society
from the Calgary Drop-In Centre Society.
I was made aware of your Society by our wonderful
volunteer and friend, Doris B. Doris volunteers a
tremendous amount of her time here at the Centre.
She is so well regarded, not just by our staff,
but by the clients we serve as well.
I have visited your Web site and found what a
wonderful service you are providing to the
homeless and disadvantaged citizens of this great
country of ours. And you are doing it out of the
warmth and goodness of your HEARTS. By taking
your program into schools across Canada you are
not only encouraging children to learn to knit
and crochet you are teaching them to help those
who are less fortunate. These are the things that
will pay dividends down the road and make Canada
a kinder more tolerant society in which to live.
The grand opening of the Centre will be Sept 8,
2001 and we will be providing our clients with
beds (520 beds) in their new home rather than
mats on the floor, which is what they presently
receive. The new Centre will have commercial
washers and dryers that will allow us to wash
blankets, sheets, etc. Therefore, to receive
enough blankets, though donation, to give each of
our clients their own for the night would enhance
our Night Program immensely.
Again I acknowledge the kindness and generosity
of everyone involved with Blankets
for Canada Society. You not
only help warm people you also warm hearts.
With very best regards,
Patrick McDonald
Resource Development Officer
