Spare The Cold 2007

Hey Change Everything community,
I would like to let you all know it's about that time of year again. Spare The Cold (www.sparethecold.org) has launched it's 2007 initiative.

In 2006, Spare The Cold successfully distributed 102 backpacks to individuals in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Spare The Cold is 100% dependent on community support, it was all made entirely possible by generosity of a caring public. A big thanks to the people of Vancouver and the www.changeeverything.ca community for having made this a reality!
This year we are upping the ante, with a project debut in both Victoria and Toronto. We are looking to put together a total of 150 packs in Vancouver, 150 in Toronto and 100 in Victoria. I was shocked to see how fast 102 backpacks went last year (20min total!). This year we would love to reach more people!
The list of items that we are looking to collect are:
1) 1-2 pairs of socks2) 1 hat/toque3) 1 pair of gloves 4) 1 scarf 5) 1 100g jar of vaseline 6) 1 stick of deodorant7) Little chocolate treats9) Christmas cards on behalf of the community10) New or used backpacks
We hope that you will help us out make Christmas a better time for those in need! Please don't hesitate to contact me (Gab) directly at gab@sparethecold.org with any questions you may have and don't forget to check out our awesome new website at www.sparethecold.org for donation information!
