Communities Rally Together Providing Clothes For Syrian Refugees
In a special Press Release, Provincial Long Term Care Inc. (pltc) which includes The Shelburne Residence, extended heart felt thanks to all communities who contributed in collecting clothing for Syrian Refugees.
Press Release
Shelburne Residence wants to thank the community for all of their support for the clothing donations for the Syrian refugees. “It was an overwhelming success” says Christine Ozimek, CEO of PLTC parent company of Shelburne Residence. “It was such a great
community effort and so many clothes were collected and dropped off that hundreds of families will benefit from”. Shelburne Residence set up a clothing donations drop box in December and clothes were collected throughout January. Early February clothes were picked up and dropped off at Canada’s Immigration drop off distribution center – New Circles - in Toronto.
“It took two trips and two full van loads each with thousands of pounds of clothing dropped
off from all our homes, Shelburne included” say Richard Sullivan, Manager of Public Relations for PLTC.
“Staff from New Circles came out and welcomed us and helped unload each of the bags and wanted to make sure that we send their thanks back to each community”.
“Although this winter turned out much better than past winters, these clothes will still be a welcome addition to each family that receives them” says Christine Ozimek. “It was what we intended to do and help and the community pulled through for us.” PLTC has always
been supporting the communities that our homes are in and with something like this we
could not do it alone. It took a great community support to make this happen.”
