Chris Matlashewski of Royal LePage Foothills and his father Stan Matlashewski of Comox Realty Group in Calgary recently organized a clothing drive benefiting The Mustard Seed homeless shelter. McDonald’s sponsored the event by providing coffee and muffins, and the community newspaper donated free advertising space.
“As a result, we managed to almost fill a five-tonne cube truck,” says Chris. “Over 100 boxes and bags of clothing were donated by the community and will be made available to homeless men and women staying at their shelter.” On average the shelter serves 350 people.
“We also asked that hygiene items like toothpaste and toothbrushes be donated,” says Chris.
