A wide assortment of running shoes, boots and shoes were donated. Some were too worn to be usable, others were in brand-new condition.

Gina has been giving Sir William MacDonald students warm meals for 20 years. She made us some wicked cappuccinos. Grazie, Gina!

Lord Strathcona Community Elementary is the oldest elementary school in Vancouver. It is also home to a branch of the Vancouver Public Library.

Students at Strathcona hauled the donations into their school.

Sometimes it was a two-person job.

Queen Alexandra runs a KidsSafe program where vulnerable students can go before and after school, and during school breaks, for food, fun, and friendship. Students from neighbouring schools are bussed here as well. For more info, visit:http://www.kidsafe.ca/
