ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH HOLDS FIRST BIG GIVE IN ROCKLAND
LOCAL FOOD BANK RECEIVES $1000 DONATION
The Big Give at St. Andrew’s Christian Church took place Saturday morning, June 2, in Rockland. The Big Give is an initiative started in Ottawa five years ago with the goal of giving back to the community. Over the last couple weeks, people from the community were invited to donate reusable items they no longer have use for. These items were then displayed at the Big Give, where everyone from the community had the chance to stop by and take whatever they liked for free, including books, clothes, furniture, amongst others. There were even hotdogs and Tim Horton’s coffee being served for free. The Big Give initiative is now also trying to spread across the country. This year, there were over 130 churches participating in the Big Give and this marked the first year for St. Andrew’s Christian Church. —photo Caroline Prévost Le journal Vision est fier de vous présenter son nouveau conseiller en publicité : Claude Lacroix.
