111 Care Packages for Community in Whalley, BC

December 22, 2019

Sunday, December 22, 2019, the team from Empowering Hands Global Minds distributed care packages to the many forgotten people on the streets – people of all ages and ethnicity.

Our goal was to provide care packages that helped all recipients feel special and remembered at this time of year.

Hand packed in a reusable cloth bag, we included items to keep the homeless warm, to feed them with a variety of snacks and fresh baked cookies, and to provide personal and oral hygiene items for each individual.

111 care packages were distributed on December 22, 2019.

21 volunteers helped to prepare and distribute the packages.

Our team included children and adults who wrote Christmas cards with inspirational messages that recognized the value of all.

The cost of this initiative was $1500 which included $1000 worth of donated goods. The benefit to the community was supporting homeless and vulnerable people and bringing some joy to their lives.
