Wawa's being encouraged to donate items to support Ghana.
Father Michael Asorgoe of St. Monica's Parish says he has been collecting items to send back to Ghana for the last five years, as a way to pay back his community and the needy.
Asorgoe notes he is looking for women and children's "summer weight" clothing - inner and outer wear - as well as linens like bedding and towels, plus small hand tools like hammers, saws, or masonry tools, which could help street children learn a trade and help take care of their family.
Father Asorgoe thanks the community for their support in the past, including Ray and Christine Parisee, Andy Stevens, and the United Church, which usually donates items from its Thrift Shop, which is not possible this year, given COVID restrictions.
Donations can be dropped off at the Rectory porch - on Caverhill across from the Royal Bank - by July 25th, at latest.
