Our charity for 2009 is the Toronto branch of The Good Shepherd, which provides food, clothing, and shelter for the city’s needy. (The main branch is in Hamilton.)
UPDATE! (Feb. 10): On convention weekend, not only will we be accepting monetary donations; but you will also be able to — in true Avonlea community spirit and fashion — donate non-perishable food items, clothing items, and other supplies, which will be given to them after the convention.
