SSVP milk bag weavers meet weekly to weave the outer milk bags into sleeping mats which are sent to other countries. The weavers meet Tuesday 10 to noon, in the Knights Hall, volunteers welcome. Our meetings resume January 17th.
Also welcome for donation are your clean and dry outer colourful milk bag jackets which can be left in the plastic bin at the main entrance of the church. Not needed are elastics to hold the milk bags together, or any other storage bags. Did you know? It takes about 650 milk bags to make one adult size mat. Since last May, we have made 4 mats. Three of which have been given to Kawartha Missions, in Lindsay, who will forward them to Canadian Food For Children. About 2500 milk bags have been collected.
