Stratford House of Blessing Christmas Food Drive
Stratford House of Blessing are looking for friendly, outgoing volunteers to help with the Christmas Food Drive on Saturday, November 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at No Frills, Food Basics, and Zehrs.
Volunteers greet shoppers as they enter the store, hand out lists of our most-needed items, and collect food donations as people finish shopping. It’s a fun and easy way to spread holiday cheer and make a real difference for families in our community.
They specifically need help for the afternoon shift (11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.).
If you are available to join us, please contact Joanne at volunteer@shob.org or 519-273-3433 ext. 204
