Sorry for the delay in the update all, I have been out of the country since the 19th of January. Two of our directors took over the distribution of the sleeping bags in my absence. First off, thanks to everyone (both old and new) who contributed to this cause. You have helped make the second season a bigger success than the first.

A special thanks goes to Dan Higgins of Canadian Tire in White Rock, BC, Canada, for providing us with some better sleeping bags than planned - at the same cost. Thanks to his generosity, we were able to purchase 95 sleeping bags this year. 70 bags rated for -7 degrees. The other 25 rated for -1 degrees.

The sleeping bags were distributed amongst 3 shelters in Downtown Vancouver - The Union Gospel Mission, The Living Room and The Lookout - all of whom were very appreciative and respectful of our hard work. The UGM mentioned that they would re-distribute the bags to their women’s and teen shelters as well as from their normal one.

We’d like to continue this fundraising event every year and appreciate everyone’s continued support. As you know, we also tried to have a Casino Night this year to raise funds but, unfortunately, we had to cancel due to lack of interest. If you have suggestions for a fundraiser that you would like to see us put on, please let us know and we’ll look into it for future years.

I’ve also attached some pics of the cars packed full!
