God calls us to be a blessing to others. 

This winter, Please Share Your Warmth

Our Blessing Bag initiative urgently needs your clean gently-used winter clothing (coats, toques, scarves, gloves and mittens) and blankets. Personal hygiene products such as toothpaste, bar soap, feminine pads and deodorant are also needed. 

You can drop these items off at St. Andrew's United Church - Cumberland at 2557 Old Montreal Road any Thursday or Friday morning or call Roy at (613) 790-1885 for pickup.

Your warmth is appreciated.

A Blessing Bag is one way we can help those in need.
