Winter Wear Drive Sponsored by Oosterveld Heating and Air Conditioning this Friday
October 21, 2019 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Guelph Storm News Release
Oosterveld Heating and Air Conditioning's fourth annual Winter Wear Drive in support of Hope House is this Friday, October 25th at the Sleeman Centre when your Storm host the North Bay Battalion.
Last year over $500 was raised from the Chuck-a-Puck fundraiser and 10 bins were filled to the top with donations of winter clothes for those in need in our community.
When you enter the rink, volunteers will be on hand to collect your much needed gently used or new hats, coats, boots, mitts, and scarves, in support of Hope House, which is a non-profit organization helping to overcome poverty in the Guelph area by providing tangible, compassionate assistance and care to those in need in the community.
The winner of the Chuck- a- Puck Fundraiser on Friday will receive a team autographed jersey. Every dollar raised from the puck toss will go to Lakeside Hope House. For every winter wear item donated, fans will receive a draw ticket for the chance to win a team autographed jersey, autographed limited edition collector's stick or a $25 gift card to Spyke's.
Most Needed Items:
Adult Boots
Socks
Jackets
Gloves
Toques
Please Help keep our community warm this winter if you are able. The Winter Wear Drive will be Friday night, but bins will be in place at our game on Sunday afternoon as well so if didn't bring an item(s) on Friday, you can still help.
For more information, to volunteer or donate please visit www.lakesidehopehouse.ca or call (519) 265-4299.
