We had such a blast this past weekend at the Orangeville Santa Claus Parade and it really got us into the holiday spirit. Every year around this time, we count our blessings and realize just how fortunate we are & it reminds us there are so many ways we can give back. Usually, we host our annual Client & Community Holiday Movie Event to join in on the cheer and say THANK YOU to YOU – our amazing clients for your business and referrals over the years. Most importantly, we collect food for the Good Shephard Food Bank in Alliston and support S.H.I.F.T (Support and Hope for Individuals and Families Today) (previously Alliston’s Out of the Cold). At our last event, we had almost 100 attendees and with all the generosity we were able to donate 305 lbs of food! Unfortunately its been a few years since our last event due to Covid, but we don’t want to let it hold us back from supporting and contributing to the food bank. Stay tuned for more details on our food drive! In the meantime, if you are able to donate on your own time, we’ve included a list below of times that they can always use more of.
