Please continue to keep your milk bags for a collection in the fall! Our parish has collected 500+ to date!!!!  These are a great help to Anne Kirby and her group at All Saints Anglican Church in Greely as they use them to weave into mats for the homeless!  Please keep your milk bags (clean, flat) and we will begin collecting them again in September! 

Centre 105 Cornwall - Container Collection on Summer Hiatus!  Thanks to your incredible generosity, Centre 105 Cornwall is currently bursting at the seams with containers! Because they have an abundance of stock to get them through the coming months, we will not be collecting containers throughout the summer.  Please hold onto your containers for now and we will let you know when the collection starts back up in the fall!
