Annual Mother’s Day Drive
Annual Mother’s Day Drive
Once again UCC will be collecting donations for the women at Ernestine's Women's Shelter to help them have a happy Mother's Day. Last year's donations meant that over 250 women received much-loved gift bags of toiletries from their children on Mother’s Day.
With it being the season for travelling, we're hoping that any travel-sized toiletries collected from hotels, or any of the items listed below that you received over the holidays and would otherwise regift could be given as donations in the new year.
The boys will be collecting full and travel/hotel sized:
soap and body wash
shampoo and conditioner
body lotion and skin care
cosmetics and nail polish
hair care products
toothbrushes and toothpaste
antiperspirant and sanitary products
beauty samples/perfumes
small gift sets
Your donations will be beautifully wrapped for children at shelters to give to their moms on Mother’s Day, so that together they can celebrate this special day.
Donations can be dropped off at the reception desk in the Upper School or main office of the Prep. Please contact Linda Carvalho at lcarvalho@ucc.on.ca if you have any questions about drop off or Samantha Dugas at indianasam@hotmail.com if you have questions about donations.
