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:
The Pavillion Marguerite de Champlain which we help year round and at Christmas; Logifem we help at Thanksgiving, at Christmas and also when asked for help; ECS where we get names of families to help at Christmas, and collect non perishables all year round for these families. We also have an Undy Sunday once/year where we collect new underwear and socks to be given to Pavillon Marguerite de Champlain.
We also hold Ladies Craft Nights two times/month where ladies from the community come and knit, make crafts, make jewellery, sew, etc. All items made are donated to the ACW to be given to our Christmas families, sold at Craft Sale and given to the Pavillon. They also knit hats, scarves, mitts which are donated to a school in the area for children who need them.
So as you can see we are a very busy group and are continually looking to help where help is needed.
