From the WINDSOR YOUTH CENTRE: We’re serving anywhere between 10 – 15 meals per night now, and some of the veggies we use come from Forgotten Harvest. However, if you have an abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables, or other goods, they can be put to use by our awesome volunteer cooks! Please contact info@thewindsoryouthcentre.org to drop off any food donations. Games and Crafts Board games and crafts are a useful, productive, and fun way to spend an evening. We’re looking for games like Checkers, Chess, Othello, Chinese Checkers, Pick-up Sticks, Playing cards, and Monopoly. Also, we'd love to be able to knit, crochet, sew, and do other crafts with the youth. If you have any games or craft items (knitting/crochet needles, yarn, glue, felt, large paper for drawing, etc) that you'd like to donate, please contact us at info@thewindsoryouthcentre.org |
