]]> The partner parishes of St. Nicholas Anglican Church in Torbay and Holy Innocents’ Anglican Church in Paradise recently completed our annual Blessing Bags project. Thanks to the incredible generosity of local community groups, schools, town councils, and individuals, the initiative collected a substantial supply of toiletries and clothing. This year, all donations were dedicated to supporting the vital work of The Gathering Place.

Dozens of reusable shopping bags and U-Haul boxes filled with donations inside a church. A man standing next to a red pickup truck bed full of blue donation bags in a snowy landscape. Two men posing with a truckload of donation bags in front of a white church with a steeple. Numerous clear zip-top bags filled with toiletries and hygiene supplies covering a white dining table.

For over 30 years, it has given dignity and independence by offering a caring space with a range of support programs for those in need. The Blesing Bags project was very happy to help them in this important work.
