Food and Coat Drive

Every year during the holidays, the Whalers pursue a community outreach initiative.  This year, we will be collecting donations of food and adult coats in support of Margaret's House from December 12th to 14th in front of Pad C at the RBC Cente. Collection times are as follows:
Friday, December 12, 5pm-8pm
Saturday, December 13, 8am-4pm
Sunday, December 14, 8am-12pm
 
We are also looking for volunteers! If you would like to volunteer to sit at the collection table, please contact the Sponsorships and Initiatives Coordinator, Sarah Chiasson, acommunitycoordinator@whalers.org.
 
Although any donation is welcome, items that are currently being prioritized by Margaret's House can be found here: Margaret's House Priorities
