february 2021 clothing drive
On February 24, 2021, 55 boxes of women, children and men’s clothing and household linens were transported from Milton to the Ottawa Airport with the final destination being the YWCA Agvvik Nunavut,Iqaluit. This was the equivalent of approximately 1,700 pounds of clothing.
This tremendous collaborative effort was the result of community engagement and generosity led by Grace Anglican Church, Milton, the Catholic Women’s League at Holy Rosary Parish, Milton and St. Paul's Anglican, Norval. A special note of appreciation goes to members of these three communities for their dedication and commitment to improving the lives of those less fortunate.
This work was only made possible by the generosity and kindness of Vanessa Sirizzotti, General Manager at Uhaul Self Storage Milton, who graciously donated packing boxes and the use of one of their trucks; Robert and Theresa Allan who on their own time, drove the Uhaul truck full of the donated clothing boxes from Milton to the Ottawa airport; and Canadian North Airlines who once again transported the boxes free of charge from Ottawa to Iqaluit.
May God's blessings be upon those many hands and many hearts who support our neighbours to the North.
