Elves at Avalon for the Mustard Seed

Elves at Avalon for the Mustard Seed

The merry elves at Avalon in partnership with The Mustard Seed have been working hard to bring warm feet and basic necessities to more than three hundred of Calgary's most vulnerable citizens. Staff, family and friends donned their Christmas cheer and rolled up their sleeves to spend a heartfelt evening filling loads of stockings. The table was packed with all kinds of good things, from shampoo, socks and bandaids to playing cards, watches and sweet treats, hopefully giving some joy to those in need. With three hundred finished it created a mountains of cheer, soon to be delivered by our keen volunteers. It was a big job and there are many to thank, our numerous suppliers, staff and contractors for their generous donations, and those who scooted around town in their motorized sleds gathering goods for the stockings. But all the cheer has a serious note as on any given night 3,500 Calgarians are sleeping in shelters or on the street. The need is great and we love to give back, but each and every gesture is so very much valued. A few cans for the food bank or a small donation can make all the difference to those with so little.
