Christians and Muslims join together to spread holiday cheer to the homeless

,

Volunteers from the Catholic community and the B.C. Muslim Association worked together to give back through the local charity Homeless Partners.

Volunteers from both religions interviewed local homeless people and shared their wish lists online so people in the community could read them and send personalized gifts directly to the homeless recipients through shelters such as Cool Aid’s Rock Bay Landing emergency shelter.
