Despite the lack of snow it began feeling a lot like Christmas early this year at Crozier & Associates.
Following the annual sprouting of beards around the Collingwood and Milton offices for the Movember drive (ramped up this year by “Mo Sisters get Movin“), support went out to a list of community initiatives including a local Syrian Family sponsorship program [1]through Elephant Thoughts in Collingwood; Home Horizon’s [2]“Spirit of Collingwood” fund-raiser for mothers and children in need of shelter and support; and a clothing drive for men and youth in support of the Good Sheppard Ministries [3]in Toronto.
[4]By December staff were stacking up food donations and topped off the giving with proceeds from our Christmas Party raffle to present cheques to the food banks of the Salvation Army [5]in Milton and the St. Vincent de Paul [6]in Collingwood.
Thanks to all who organized and participated, it appears that the season of giving is alive and well even if it looks a lot like fall outdoors!
