Activities
Please be sure to check the "HOTLINE" for any upcoming events for meeting start times.
Quilting Club meets the first and third Tuesday of each month in the morning. The money they bring in from their beautiful quilting goes to buy supplies for Heart Pillows etc. Mary Austin is in charge of the Quilting Group.
Heart Pillows meet the second and fourth and fifth Tuesday of each month from 9 A.M. to approximately 1 P.M.. We send 50 pillows a month to Toronto General Hospital. We also make heart pillows for St. Michaels Hospital. We notify them when we have 25 or more and they pick them up.
Collectibles
We need clean used pantyhose or nylons to cut up for stuffing, to make one type of comfort pillows.
We collect Campbell Soup labels to help schools earn points to purchase badly needed school supplies.
Pop and beer can tabs are collected and taken to a centre for scrap metals for which we are paid.
*** Please do not send any tabs until September due to the move.***
Used postage stamps are collected and given to the Leprosy Mission to help with their fund raising.
Old eyeglasses are saved for RayJon Share, who take them to third world countries. The volunteer group goes to Haiti for one week twice a year to provide glasses for the inhabitants. Volunteers pay all of their own expenses. They go to other third world countries as well.
Bring your old eyeglasses to a meeting or send to:
