180 Handmade Blankets and Shawls Needed - Be a Part of The Mitzvah of Caring! A year ago The Shawl-om Project was launched in Calgary to remember those shut-in with a gift of caring. With distanced visits, as allowed, Shawl-om gifted 35 blankets and shawls to those who have been a vital part of our community, and now need some support. Shawl-om is now partnering with Jewish Family Service Calgary and is calling out to all knitters, crocheters and quilters to support this heartwarming project. Email Michele Doctoroff for more details.
Building an inclusive community is our priority. Contact us and we will make every effort to meet your needs.
