Seaforth Manor and Queensway
are set up to take clothing donation
drop offs for the Syrian refugees
Special to the Clinton News Record
Seaforth Manor, Retirement Living
and Long Term Care and Queensway,
Retirement Living and Long Term Care
are now set up to take clothing dona-
tion drop offs for new and gently used
clothing to be given to the distribution
center in Toronto for the Syrian
refugees.
"Canada is expecting to welcome
thousands of Syrian refugees in the
coming months and as all Canadians
know our winters come with bone
chilling (encounters of) wind. This is
a time of year the refugees will need
clothing and we will do our best to
help," says Christine Ozimek, C.E.O.
of Provincial Long Term Care, parent
company of Seaforth Manor and
Queensway. "This year with so many
immigrants coming into Canada the
clothing distribution will be strained
by an already overwhelming need of
clothing for existing low income
families."
Canada's Immigration Office has
identified clothing distribution centers.
In Ontario, New Circles is the clothing
donation office. They are located in
Toronto at 161 Bartley Avenue. The
clothing dropped off at Seaforth Manor
and Queensway will be picked up
throughout January and delivered to
the New Circles drop off in Toronto for
distribution to the refugees and other
needed families.
"Any effort on our behalf to collect
new and gently used clothing in the
communities will benefit everyone,"
mentioned Ozimek. "We want to do our
part to help. These people have faced
great hardships and maybe we can
make a difference in being able to pro-
vide them clothing, especially during
winter."
