The Rose’s Angels group celebrated its third anniversary of helping not-for-profit groups on Feb. 14 with a gathering of 40 or so people at the Richmond Jewish Day School to help distribute items collected for its Care Package Campaign.
More than 400 toiletry and non-perishable food care packages, along with 750 warmth bundles (touques, scarves, gloves, socks), were packaged and distributed to organizations in Richmond that assist those living in poverty or well below low income standards.
Recipients included the St Alban Drop-In Centre, Touchstone Family Services, Chimo Outreach, The Richmond Multi-Cultural Society, Richmond Food Bank, Jewish Food Bank, Turning Point Recovery, Richmond Family Place, Pathways Clubhouse and Light of Shabbat Program. For those wishing to make a donation to Rose’s Angels, contact the Richmond Kehila Society at 604-241-9270.
