SECOND ANNUAL SEASON OF GIVING CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF AT THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARE
Little Brook, NS – November 18, 2019: For the second year in a row, the Municipality of Clare is launching its Season of Giving campaign to collect donations for local charitable organizations. Until Thursday, December 19, residents are encouraged to drop off a donation, such as a non-perishable food item or new toy, to the Municipal Office during office hours.

The community of Clare is not untouched by these numbers. Once again, food donations and toiletries will be brought to the Clare Food Bank at the Sacré Coeur Parish Hall in Saulnierville, while toy donations will be brought to Les papas Noël de Clare.
