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

Niagara International Students (NIS) Winter Clothing drive.

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.
