COMMUNITY MEALS
The Catholic Women's League, in conjunction with Grace Anglican Church worked hard on preparing 60 turkey meals for members within our community.
A huge thank you to No Frills on Derry Road for their donation of four turkeys, Gordon Food Services on Hwy 25 for Scalloped potatoes, Food for Life for Vegetables and desserts and Troy’s diner for Take out containers. This could not have been done without their generous donations. These meals were offered free.
A huge thank you to 40 Ontario St under the direction of Cathy Goulding, for collecting a lot of canned goods for the Optimist food bank. The photo of cans does not do any justice.

A major focus of Development and Peace — Caritas Canada’s People and Planet First campaign is advocating for a law that compels Canadian companies to respect the human and environmental rights of local populations in their overseas operations. This fall, acting in solidarity with their brothers and sisters in the Global South, thousands of Canadians signed a petition asking the government to enact such a law.
On behalf of all those who struggle to preserve their land, lives, livelihoods and lifestyles, Development and Peace — Caritas Canada thanks you for your commitment and mobilization. Together, we act in solidarity with the protectors of the Earth. Together, we have the power to change lives.

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.
