ACW DORCAS SHOWER

If shopping is not convenient, cash donations may be given to Glenda Colquhoun or Judy Nicholson. 

All items will be donated to the Diocesan ACW for use in Northern BC & Yukon parishes and when a need arises in the Lower Mainland.  Your support is most welcome.    

GENTLY, USED BABY/FAMILY CLOTHES can find a new home through the Diocesan ACW.  These are included in the BALES of clothing sent three times.  Glenda or Judy are happy to deliver these to ACW Place.  If you have questions regarding donations of men’s, women’s, children’s clothing, games, bedding, knitting, linens, etc. and how it is sorted and shipped according to parish requests, please speak to Judy Nicholson.  You are welcome to visit ACW Place (Unit B, 7012 Merritt Avenue, Burnaby) any Monday morning and see the ladies in action.
