Show some love: Donate your winter gear!
It's time for NDG's 2025 winter clothing drive. Here's how your care can keep someone else warm this winter. There are 5 drop-off points around the neighborhood collecting coats, boots, snow pants, scarves, mittens, and hats until November 6th. Gather your friends, family, and coworkers, and let's do our part to keep our neighbours warm and dry!
