Psst...Help us promote The Undercover Project

The ” Undercover Project” - the ladies auxiliary of the Canadian Auto Workers Union has spearheaded a drive to acquire new underwear and socks for those children in elementary schools.

We would like to reach families who need to access the project and get the gifts, which are donated towards it. Any help you can give us in reaching families or schools to inform them of the program would be appreciated by all.

The closing day is Dec. 15th and distribution will be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday before Christmas and begin again after Jan.4th.    I.D is NOT required and there will not be line ups. Those that want to access them can come in at their leisure to pick them up

The media will cover the delivery from C.A.W. around the 19th so some media coverage will get word out to the general public.   Ontario Works will have a gift certificate in the Christmas boxes given out on the 23th and they can pick them up after Christmas.  That amount will be put aside as soon as we know the approximate number and the rest of them we would like to go to those who may fall through the cracks.

Anyone who wishes can donate new undies or socks at the union office at the Chapples Building or the Clothing Assistance Mission shop at 404 North May Street, 474-3583.

The Clothing Assistance Mission opened june12th of this year, it is non profit reg’d and provides clothing free to those in need and sells items @4 for $1.00 which covers our rent and what 
utilities we can cover.
