How snowmen are helping unsheltered women stay warm! Hyde Park area artist Sandi McCabe printed sets of her whimsical snowman cards and offered the proceeds of sales to My Sisters’ Place – a program of CMHA Thames Valley – that offers support for women facing violence, mental and physical health challenges, homelessness or housing instability, substance use or extreme poverty, to help fund their winter Overnight Resting Spaces program.

Not just a market, it’s a family tradition. Rotary to the Rescue The Rotary Club of London Hyde Park collected 915 pairs of men’s, women’s and children’s socks and presented them to Mission Services in December. Pictured are Rotarians Neil Holt and Lillian Reid (left), and Nicolai Jacobsen, CEO of Parkway Garden Centre, along with Sheila Pickens of Magnolia Boutique (right), presenting some of the socks to Mission Services Senior Development Officer Kelly Thomson (centre). “Special thanks goes out to Parkway Garden Centre for allowing us to use their facility as a donation location, as well as to the many folks who donated socks,” said Barbara Robins of the Rotary club.
