Hello everyone,
Hope you are keeping warm!
Our names are Charlie, Doyin, Favour and Kathy and we are 4th year nursing students in our community clinical rotation. We are currently placed at Agape Table.
Agape Table is 100% and provides the following services:
* Free breakfast to the marginalized community of Winnipeg from Monday to Friday. * Emergency Food and hampers every Tuesday and Thursday to over 275 families each week. * Daily living necessities such as clothing, shoes, and hygiene products are always in demand.
For our community health project, we identified a need for winter clothing. Many of the guests that utilize the services at Agape Table do not have adequate winter clothing, especially gloves/mittens, which puts them at risk for frostbite and its complications. Although Agape Table has other winter items through donations such as winter jackets, scarves, hats and socks, there is a scarcity of winter gloves. Hence, we selected gloves/mittens drive to fill this need. We need men's/women's gloves. We are hoping to receive at least 50 pairs of gloves/mittens.
Any used or new mittens/gloves can be dropped off at the designated box at Helen Glass atrium by the NSA office.
We have also provided an amazon link if you want to purchase gloves. Once received, it can be dropped off at the designated box at Helen Glass atrium by the NSA office.

Please kindly have all gloves in by March 9, 2023.
