Oxfam Unwrapped Donation Event
Sunday, June 2
at the church service

Oxfam Canada works to find lasting solutions to poverty in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas, and the gifts in the Oxfam Unwrapped catalogue help them achieve that work. An Oxfam Unwrapped gift will help people living in poverty gain greater levels of self-sufficiency and control over their lives and the future of their communities.

Here's how it works: To select an item from the Oxfam Unwrapped catalogue , go to www.oxfamunwrapped.ca. Then click on Buy a Gift at the top of the page. This will give you the complete list of gifts with their prices. Gifts range in price from $12 to $1300, with selections that include packages of seeds, mosquito nets, chickens, hygiene kits, training on gender-based violence, emergency toilets, beehives, bicycles, and solar panels. You can click on each gift for a description.

You donate the money for one or more items to our fellowship at the service on June 2. The fellowship will send the list of gifts and the donations to Oxfam Canada, and will give each of you a charitable donation receipt.
