A donation drive for Alex Programs
Since the start of COVID-19 last spring, we are seeing an increase in need in our community for basic necessities, including clothing, hygiene items, and more.
We want to fill our Community Health Bus powered by TELUS Health to the brim with items to distribute to our programs and we need your help!
We are looking for new clothing and hygiene items like travel-sized soaps, shampoos, etc. We are also seeking new or gently used crafts and coloring books for our Assisted Self-Isolation Site to provide activities for those who are isolating due to COVID or close contact.
