The Cummings Centre is joining together with Federation CJA on two meaningful volunteer projects, the Warm Hands and the Baking it Forward projects.

The Warm Hands

The Warm Hands project will provide warmth to people in need in the community and in shelters with knitted hats, scarves, and gloves. We are encouraging people to knit hats, scarves and/or gloves Your knitted items will be wrapped nicely in clear bags and delivered to communities in need across the city on February 24 the to help keep people warm during these cold days of winter.

A bin will be placed at the entrance to Federation CJA entrance between February 14 and 22nd where you can drop off your knitted items (Mon – Thurs 9:00am – 5:00pm and Friday 9:00am – 2:00pm) as well as a bin in a secondary West Island location (DDO).

Federation CJA (Main),  5151 Cote Sainte-Catherine St. W., Montreal, QC, H3W 1M6
Hours: Monday to Thursday 9 am – 5 pm and Friday 9 am – 2 pm

Baking It Forward Project

If you want to be involved in a rewarding project, and prefer to bake, The Baking It Forward Project will provide healthcare workers in hospitals with home baked treats to show our appreciation and support. If you want to bake some nice snacks, please make sure the baked goods are individually wrapped in saran wrap or baggies (2 cookies per bag or 1 square or 1 brownie) so that they are a nice “snack/treat” for the healthcare workers to grab and eat.

Please note there is no refrigeration available, so no frostings, or cream cheese should be used in your recipes. Great ideas are cookies, brownies, loafs, banana breads, muffins, rice crispy type squares, granola bars, etc. NO NUTS PLEASE!

Baked goods can be dropped off Monday February 14 and 9 am – 12 noon at Federation.  or anytime Sunday February 13th at either West Island (DDO) and CSL locations we will have set up.
