Welcome to Stratford & Perth County Basketeers!
The Basketeers mission is to enrich the lives of women in new beginnings. Our dedication to this heartfelt program drives us to believe that many in our community will join our mission.
Join us in support of the Emily Murphy Centre & The Optimism Place, Women’s Shelter and Support Services this fall by putting together thoughtful and useful gift baskets, filled with household and personal care items, for women transitioning from shelter to a new home.
We invite you to deliver your basket(s) in person at our annual basket drop-off days happening on Saturday, November 23rd, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at North Perth Community Hospice (135 Main Street West, Listowel) and on Saturday, November 30th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the Avondale United Church (194 Avondale Avenue, Stratford).
We also accept monetary DONATIONS; we will use any financial gifts to purchase gift cards and deliver them to the Emily Murphy Centre and The Optimism Place. As chosen by the shelters, Walmart Canada, Canadian Tire, No Frills and Food Basics gift cards provide women at risk with the opportunity to purchase exact household and personal care items they need to transition from shelter to new home. The deadline for donation is November 18th, 2024.
*Please note Basketeers is not a registered charity. No tax receipt will be issued for donations.*
Thank you
