Warm Feet for the Street – A message from our Grade 3 students 

Thank you for donating to Warm Feet for the Street. We got over 200 socks!!! Thank you for all your work helping us. Did you know that the Mustard Seed started as an old coffee shop in a church basement? Now, it has grown so much because of people like you! Every night over 400 people sleep at the Mustard Seed. Your gifts will make people experiencing homelessness feel so happy! Thank you for donating. Happy Holidays!
