Ravens Support Baby Food/Needs Drive

Last year, Burlington hockey families, including the Burlington City Rep. Eagles, Burlington Cougars Jr. A Hockey Club, and Burlington Barracudas Girls’ Hockey Club, showed tremendous compassion by collecting and donating an astounding 207,688.8 lbs of non-perishable goods during their food drive in mid-November!  Close to 104 tons of food were donated to the hungry and those in need in our community of Burlington.

If all goes according to plan this year, the Carpenter Hospice will, once again, have enough food to last them for one year and the Halton Ravens are excited to support this effort.  Halton Women’s Place will have enough food for one year, Partnership West will be able to stock their shelves for one year, and the Salvation Army will be able to support the many needy families in our community for many months to come.  Hundreds of Christmas hampers will also be packed up and distributed to families in Burlington to make Christmas a little brighter for some of our neighbours.

The Halton Ravens are partnering to help collect food and other items of need for babies right here in Burlington.  There is a major need for items like:
·         Formula and Infant Cereal
·         Pureed Vegetables and Fruit
·         Pureed Poultry, Meat, Tofu or Cottage Cheese
·         Cloth Diapers, Disposable Diapers

Please join us at the Wave Sports Centre ALL DAY on October 27th when we will be collecting these very necessary items, which will be distributed to families in need in Burlington.

Our volunteers will have bins on hand at the WSC throughout the day and we are planning on having a big crowd on hand for to see the Ravens take on the Lefroy Wave.  Enjoy the game and bring along some of the items we need to help take care of the people in our community.

The Ravens are also looking for volunteers to assist at several pick-up locations across Burlington.  Please contact [email protected] if you have time to volunteer towards this amazing, annual event.
