Donate to Christmas Food Hampers at Mamawi Atosketan Native School

Usually, at this time of the year, we are looking for donations from our conference churches for our Christmas Mall. Due to extended concerns about Covid-19 and our current pandemic situation, we have decided to eliminate the mall and send each family a Christmas Food Hamper. If you would like to help with this endeavor please contact our school at (403)783-4362 or office@mansalberta.ca.

Acting now will save lives. Please give so that others may live. It’s time to dethrone hunger and set a place for Justice at the Table.
