#supportnorthernmoms

Mamas! It's time! There has been a call to our group to help some families up north. We need to send diapers and formula (recently a few newborns and babies have not had the basics and this just isn't acceptable!) We can also send winter goods, sponsor a family, or just make a donation!

In Canada's north there is a #foodsecurity crisis and families who used to be able to sustain themselves can no longer. The prices for basic necessities is through the roof. This is an issue that has not properly been dealt with so families in real time are not able to properly get goods to their homes.

If you would like to ship goods, the following is needed:

• Winter boots

• Warm socks

• Snowsuits

• Snow pants

• Parkas, ski jackets, coats

• Gloves/mittens

• Toques/scarves

• Sweaters/Hoodies

• Thermal underwear - NEW ONLY

All sizes of these items are needed, new or like-new condition.

This is the address:

JORDAN’S PRINCIPLE C/O NURSING STATION P.O. BOX 10 DEER LAKE, ON, CANADA P0V 1N0 (807) 775-2054

If you would like to ship a box with formula, wipes and diapers, the best thing to do is go to your local Canada Post outlet and get a flat rate box ($30-$35) and send up things that way - maximum weight is 11lbs.

Formula, diapers, and wipes needed by the following #foodbanks. When you send them, post a photo of you and your box of goods or your order and use #supportnothernmoms!
