The Pas Friendship Centre needs donations to help support those most vulnerable in the community.

 

Janet Lowther with the Centre has details:

 

"We go through a bin of socks probably every two weeks and it's like a pretty fair big bin, like 50 L of socks in two weeks.  So we're always needing that replenished all the time.  And we also take food donations.  A lot of people are facing food insecurity.  So somebody's in crisis or they need help or they just can't let their food stretch to payday.  We do offer help if we have it.  So, but food does go very fast off the shelves.  It's hard to keep up."

 

It is busy at the Friendship Centre with various programs running, including medicine making, cake decorating, lego building, bead crafting, and more.

 

The Friendship Centre has also started hosting a men's support group, with the next session running on February 1st, then again every second Monday.
