Shelter supporters thanked

Here's a letter to the editor written by one of our shelter volunteers and published in Richmond News on January 9th.   Volunteer "E" should also be thanked as she was the person who took the initiative both times to approach Canadian Tire and ask for a donation.  The first time, we needed a new toaster and this time a new griddle as I dropped the one we'd been using and broke it.

RICHMOND NEWS JANUARY 9, 2013

The Editor,

Today is the second time the Canadian Tire store located in the Coppersmith Plaza on Steveston Highway in Richmond contributed to the St. Alban Extreme Weather Shelter. The donation of cooking equipment for preparing breakfast makes it easier for shelter staff and volunteers to provide nourishment for those citizens who are vulnerable to homelessness.

We are very appreciative of this generous gesture to support the shelter, which also provides warm clothing and a warm place to sleep during the cold winter nights.

Thank you to the good Samaritans at Canadian Tire and to the other merchants who support the shelter.

E. Michaud, On behalf of Inn From The Cold at St. Alban Richmond
