The St.Amant Foundation is hosting the gift wrap and coat check station located next to Calendar Club by the Food Hall from December 1 – 24 & 26. Now in our fourth year, and sponsored by Investors Group Winnipeg South Regional Office and St. Vital Centre, this service raised over $23,000 last year for projects at St.Amant. Your donation will help fund electronic transfer lifts and specialized medical and music therapy equipment. A small difference in your holiday shopping can make a huge lifelong difference for those with developmental disabilities and autism, as well as their families. When braving the cold to get that perfect gift remember to venture to St. Vital Centre and have it wrapped up.
The gift wrap and coat check station will be available from open to close at St. Vital Centre until closing time on Christmas Eve, as well as to check your coat to make Boxing Day easier.
