begin its first-term offering
assistance to the people affected by
the tornado that hit Goderich. They
are inviting the community to be part
of that endeavour.
In talking with the disaster relief
leaders in Goderich, they suggest
donations of non-perishable food
items, new children’s clothing, new
bedding and towels, new school
supplies Zehrs gift cards and
money.
Money donations will be used to
