For the second year, the Brant/Brantford Paramedics wish to collect and donate parkas for the community and they need your help!
“Last year was a huge success,” said Randy Papple, Deputy Chief of the Brant/Brantford Paramedic Services and Parkas from Paramedics Campaign Lead at the County of Brant. “This year, we would like to partner with Freedom House.”
The Kindness Centre is an initiative of The Kindness Project; the outreach ministry of Freedom House.
“For many years, The Kindness Centre has been providing food, clothing, supplies and a generous serving of hope to many families in the Brant and Brantford area,” said Dave Caroll from Freedom House. “We are thrilled to have the Paramedics helping the community this year.”
Paramedics will be collecting parkas, socks, hats and gloves this year to help keep the community warm during the chilly winter.
“We need everyone’s help,” said Papple. “We truly appreciate the community’s spirit of coming together.”
