Knitting for a Great Cause at Delmanor Glen Abbey!

The Shoebox Project for Women is a National Charity in Canada that operates local shoebox gift drives in many communities across the country.

Delmanor Glen Abbey teamed up with local businesses and volunteers in the community to make a difference to women living in shelters across the G.T.A.  The 'Knifty Knitters' group from Delmanor Glen Abbey have been busy making headbands for the Shoebox project for the upcoming holiday season.

Some of the gorgeous knitted headbands

 Shoe boxes are filled with items that might be enjoyed by women living in shelters.  Inexpensive items such as lotions, make-up, treats, gifts certificates and notebooks are some of the items that are donated for the boxes.  The "Knifty Knitters" of Delmanor Glen Abbey were very proud to be able to donate headbands to be added to the shoe boxes this year. 

Two members from the Shoe Box Project came to the retirement residence to do a presentation on the importance and value of this cause and how much the donated headbands will be appreciated by the recipients during the holidays.

Everyone at Delmanor Glen Abbey agreed that this charity is something that they wish to continue to support in the future, and felt wonderful being able to give back.
