The John Howard Society of Fredericton is collecting cold weather items this winter for the unhoused population of Fredericton. The number one injury we see in the winter is frostbite and we are working to prevent that by collecting hats, gloves mitts, scarfs, hand warmers, socks, ponchos etc.
This Sunday Oct 26th we will be hosting a Fill the Van donation event to try to get the people of Fredericton to donate some of their used or unneeded winter items at Home Depot in the Corbett Center
It will be a chance for people to meet the outreach team and let us know of any areas people may be living rough and help give back to those who will have the hardest time and be vunerable this winter.
