YWCA St Thomas-Elgin
YWCA Wish List for Residents
It is that time of year again when the YWCA St. Thomas-Elgin prepares a wish list in support of the men, women and youth we serve. Please consider making a donation and if possible share this list with your colleagues, family and friends.
Stocking and needs list
There is always a need for non-perishable food for the emergency food supply. All items are welcome including: canned goods, oatmeal, pasta, sugar, coffee mate, salt, pepper, spices.
For the Christmas season all residents receive a stocking that is filled with donated goods including gift baskets, gift sets, toiletries, gift cards (Shoppers Drug Mart, Grocery Stores etc). If cash donations are made it will be used to purchase gift cards for the residents.
There has been an interest in purchasing specific items for some of the youth in Harmony House and Fair Winds. If you need specific information about ages/sizes of the youth in the our homes please call our Residence Manager, Cheryl Simmons at 519-631-9800 ext 29 or by email at cs.ywcastthomaselgin@yahoo.ca.
