One thing we’ll miss this year is our Advent Festival, where we’ve decorated handmade stockings for our friends at Portland Place. Another thing we’ll miss is filling them! This year we’ll fill handmade mini-stockings with Loblaw’s gift cards. There’s a Loblaw’s across the street from Portland Place.
The best way for us to gather the cards is through a bulk order to Fundscrip. Each little sock will hold a $50 gift card. You can contribute by dropping off a cheque, made out to the church, or by e-transfer to bookkeeper@glenviewchurch.ca. Be sure to add a note directing your donation to Gift Cards for Portland Place. (Ordering the cards from Fundscrip means Glenview will receive back 3% of the purchase.)
