Post-Tornado Grocery Gift Card Drive
September 2018
Thanks to everyone who supported the Post-Tornado Grocery Gift Card Drive! We raised $8,436 total in one week ($2,610 in gift cards and $5,826 in cash/gift cards/online donations). The outpouring of support allowed us to distribute gift cards to all the Haven residents, and allow them to replace spoiled food following Ottawa's power outage due to the tornado on Sept. 21, 2018. A first round of gift cards has been circulated to tenants, and we will be passing out a second round of cards shortly. We'll share more updates about the Post-Tornado Grocery Gift Card Drive in the next MHI newsletter, scheduled to come out later this month.
Thanks for the Sequoia Community Church, the South Nepean Muslim Community, and all of you who supported the Haven residents during the power outage. The burden was eased because of your thoughtfulness, and from the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank you enough.
