Our town has experienced the devastation of a natural disaster and is slowly recovering and rebuilding. In many parts of the world, famine, drought, poverty and disease are a constant reality of daily life.
North Street United Church in Goderich is hosting its fifth annual "Global Giving Mall" to raise funds and awareness for many worthy global relief projects. The Mall is an opportunity to purchase Fair Trade foods, gifts and crafts which support ongoing local and international aid projects.
The event takes place Saturday, November 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday, November 27 from noon to 3 p.m. Displays from Ten Thousand Villages, Canadian Foodgrains Bank, Sleeping Children Around the World, Friends of The Orphans Canada, Fair Trade Coffee and Tea and many other charitable groups will be available throughout the weekend. A " Caribbean-style Lunch " will be served on Saturday for a $5 donation to assist with African relief projects. Donations to the Goderich Disaster Relief Committee will be gratefully accepted.
You are invited to " Exercise your heart and give a gift to the world". We look forward to seeing you again this year.
