Thank you John and Sheila from CTDI for the generous donation of gift cards to our Holiday Program! #safetynetElves #community #CTDI

Thanks to our wonderful community, we have some great numbers to share - clothing and diapers we were able to give out in 2020 to the families we serve. Clothing and diaper donations are accepted in person at the charity Mon-Sat, 9:30-1pm (1317 Speers Rd), or you can use the convenient bins 24/7 in the parking lot (please bag donations). Clothing that is donated and in good condition, is provided to our families free of charge. ... Nothing goes to waste - worn and torn clothing is also accepted for our recycling program.

Carole, our ‘Chief Elf’ and Fundraising Coordinator, has been at the helm of our Holiday Program this year. Her energy, enthusiasm, mad organizational skills, and kind heart helped make this program a success in a year when it was so very much needed. It has been a very busy month, but the Elves team, Heather, Bree-Anne, and Ally, and all of the volunteers at the charity made it all possible, and ensured that donors and clients were greeted with smiling eyes and a bit of holi...day cheer. We had 84 families receive full Family Holiday packages this year that included gift cards, toys and pajamas. 4 children who had bikes on their wish lists received one, courtesy of our incredible Bicycle Program team. The sponsorship packages, numerous community donations of gift cards, financial support, and extras brought into Safetynet this month have helped to make the season bright for so many of the families we serve. Carole says Our Holiday Elves team has been overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of our community, in coming together to support each other. I can’t express in words the gratitude we feel for our incredible supporters and the contributions of so many people, organizations, and community groups this season. Our hearts are full. #safetynetElves

Calling all handymen and women cleaning out their workshops! Our Furniture Program is in need of orbital sanders and sanding discs. You can reach out to us [email protected] or bring to the charity to drop off during regular operating hours - Mon-Sat 9:30-1pm.

Wonderful donors - please hold all donations from Dec 24-27th - we are hoping to give our volunteers a well-deserved break for the holiday. Regular hours will resume on December 28th. Merry Christmas for those celebrating!

We love to see sports teams and groups coming together to support families in the community! Daphne Freill dropped off a lovely donation from the Oakville Soccer Club U14B Girls. Thank you team! #oakvillesoccer #safetynetElves #donateOakville

Last week, Margaret Martingano from the Oakville chapter of Project Linus Canada brought in 60 quilts and blankets all beautifully handmade by volunteers. Some have already been tucked into Holiday Elves packages, and will go under the tree, some will go to families with new babies, and others will go home with clients who come in for bedding. Thank you to Project Linus and all of the volunteers in the Oakville chapter who made this happen! #projectLinusOakville #projectLin...us #safetynet Learn more about this amazing project: https://projectlinuscanada.org/ See more
