FoodMesh introduces ‘It takes a village’ campaign

By Joan Janzen

Volunteers at FoodMesh Kindersley are trying something new this year to prepare for the holiday season. From now until December 13, they are collecting baby care items to give to those in need before Christmas. The donated items will be given out to families within Kindersley and the area who apply for the packages.

FoodMesh Kindersley volunteers are accepting donations of gift cards, cash and baby items (except clothing) until December 13. Families can apply to receive a package by emailing kindersleyfoodmesh@gmail.com

Donated items can be dropped off at 623 - 3rd Street East, across from the high school. Anyone interested is asked to leave donations by the side door under the covered car park.

Although clothing items are not accepted, many other items are welcome. If you are unable to drop off items or prefer to give cash or gift cards, please contact FoodMesh Kindersley by emailing kindersleyfoodmesh@gmail.com

Donations of gift cards are preferred in order to purchase specific sizes and items needed. However donations of all sizes of diapers, wipes, powdered formula and baby food are welcome and appreciated.

Anyone in need of a baby care package can contact FoodMesh by email. It is hoped these packages will help families have a little less to worry about this Christmas. It takes a village to raise a child, and you can be a part of the village.
