As the holidays approach, Sheridan’s holiday campaigns are in full swing.
Mitten Trees: Don’t forget to help us decorate these trees by donating pairs of mittens, scarves and hats for children and adults who are in need this holiday season. We ask that when you are out doing your shopping, pick up a pair of mittens. Using the clothespins provided on the basket near each tree, hang your pair of mittens on the tree. When each tree is full, we will collect them and donate them to a local charity.
Last year 279 pairs of mittens, 30 hats, 20 scarves, 1 knitted blanket and 1 pair of slippers were pinned to or placed under the trees around campus. The items were divided equally and dropped off at Kerr Street Ministries in Oakville and The Salvation Army, Family Life Resource Centre in Brampton.
Toy Drive: Sheridan’s Toy Drive is also ongoing. Donate an unwrapped toy and place it under the tree before December 15th. We will be partnering with the Halton and Peel Regional Police and the Toys for Tots Campaign.
Sheridan students are joining in the season of giving, as well. Be on the lookout at the Davis campus for the Sheridan Engineering Club’s electric car, which the Club is asking students to fill with toys that will also be donated to Toys for Tots.
