Local 500 will be doing our part to give back to the community this fall by partnering for hope at Siloam Mission.
On Saturday, September 29th, about twelve Local 500 members and staff will help serve lunch alongside other volunteers at the downtown homeless shelter.
"I'm very appreciative to all the Local 500 members who want to give back to the community by sharing their time to help make a difference in the lives of people who really need it," said Local 500 President, Mike Davidson.
As many as 2,000 homeless people live in Winnipeg and about 400 - 500 people visit Siloam Mission every day.
The shelter is always in urgent need of items such as coffee, socks, underwear, toiletries like toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. If you wish to donate any of these items, they can be dropped off at their main building at 300 Princess Street, Monday-Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
