Help a Child Stay Warm this Winter! |
It's cold outside and some children simply don't have hats, scarves or gloves to keep them warm due to family finances, or lost items.
The Whitby Chamber is proud to support the Help a Child Stay Warm program this winter. Our goal is to acquire 2000 pairs of gloves/mitts, 2000 hats and 2000 scarves for children between the ages of 6 and 14. All items will be distributed between the 24 Whitby public schools.
We encourage all members in the business community to donate a hat, mitts or scarves to support this excellent program. You can drop off your donated items at the Chamber office - 128 Brock St S, Whitby or join us for one of our events and bring your donation with you
