EVERY CHILD MATTERS masks

We received a generous donation of orange masks from @ARITZIA . In the last few days, our staff took time to design several hundred of them to honor children and survivors. Tomorrow, July 1st, volunteers will be across from Northmart and at four corners to hand them out. 🧡 (June 30, 2021)
