December 9, 2015 – 140 employees of the City of Thunder Bay’s Corporate Services & Long Term Care department donated approximately 280 packages of socks and underwear to the Clothing Assistance Mission’s Undercover Project.

“It is important to understand that a lot of people in our own community go without basic necessities,” said Carol Pollard, General Manager – Corporate Services & Long Term Care & City Treasurer. “Being able to give is a gift. I am beyond thrilled that the staff of the Corporate Services & Long Term Care department stepped forward during holiday season to give to those in need.”

The department collected donations for the Undercover Project during their annual Christmas Lunch. The 280 packages made up by the department will be distributed along with Christmas Cheer Hampers to children ages four to 14. Each child will receive seven pairs of socks and underwear.
