The West Ottawa Ringette U16A-McMinn team have been busy giving back to their community during the Christmas season.
The team recently volunteered some time writing Christmas cards to Canadian veterans and war brides to be delivered over the holidays. It is always remarkable to remember those who have given back to our country. Those receiving the Christmas greetings from this young ringette team will, without doubt, be thankful for the girls’ thoughtfulness.
But, that wasn’t enough for these girls — they wanted to do more!
Knowing that many women’s shelters in our area are always in need, especially during the Christmas season, the girls wanted to bring some joy to the lives of the women staying at Chrysalis House over the holidays. The girls went shopping with a list of essentials to respond to the need. This touch of kindness will certainly bring happiness to the women at this time of year.
The U16-A McMinn ringette team have found the perfect way to share their time for the season of giving. Your thoughtfulness is influential is so many ways!
