Any clothing (shoes, socks etc.). All needed, especially this time of year.
last year we filled a giant Santa sock full of socks for the folks at the Breakfast Programme. Once again, the big red stocking will be hung in the lobby during the 4 Sundays in Advent. Cold, wet feet are a reality for folks who spend their days on the street, with little access to laundry. Fresh socks not only feel good, but prevent conditions such as Trench Foot, and frostbite.

Hello partners team;
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend! As NIS staff we are thankful for each of you! On Nov.12 we hope to have another winter clothing give-away at Brock; we do this in partnership with
the Brock International Center. We need your help; could you help us by collecting some winter items at your church? We are looking for adult coats, gloves, boots and blankets. Below is a promo you could use; please add where they could bring the donated items. We can come and pick up items you have collected; deadline is November 9.
Thanks so much, Hilda
Winter is on its way and NIS is looking for gently used winter clothing to share with international students at Brock. Many new students come without appropriate winter gear; in years passed we have been able to help hundreds of students prepare for winter. We are looking for adult coats, boots and gloves. You can drop off items at……… by Sunday November 9.
Thanks in advance! You will put a smile on a student’s face.
A $2 donation to help offset the costs would be appreciated. They are on the Table near the Music Ministry Bulletin Board.
