ACW (Anglican Church Workers)
The ACW is a group of parishioners, mostly women, who help organize suppers, organize Garage Sales, English Teas, Pre-Christmas Sales, Craft Fair, Garden Party and do the occasional supper or lunch at the request of the minister. We also provide catering for memorials, Barber Shop events, Lion's Club events, etc. We prepare frozen food to be sold to parishioners and friends mostly seniors. We do fundraising for the following organizations:
ACW Missions:
We have a few missions, our main one is our Christmas Baskets which we collect non-perishables all year round and then receive the names of families from the principal of Terry Fox School. We then purchase what is needed, separate, wrap, make up the boxes of food and gifts and deliver them to the families (usually 10-12/year.
We also help at the women's shelter, Pavilion Marguerite de Champlain, where we also give food all year round when needed, give gifts at Christmas and Easter to the children and moms, collect new socks and underwear, hygienic products once/year and whenever they need help.
We also, with St. Margaret of Antioch Church, have a Breakfast Program for Terry Fox School, where we donate breakfast food and items for recess to the school from September - June..
These are a few of our main missions but we also help out in other areas when needed.
So as you can see we are a very busy group and are continually looking to help where help is needed.
