This week I would like to share how WindsorEssex County is going to stand together and make a miracle happen on June 27th.
June 27th Miracle
On June 27th, at 12:00 pm, as many residents as possible, in all communities in WindsorEssex to place a non-perishable on their doorstep and it will be picked up. These donations will be given to those who need it. With the current economic situation facing us, many more people have been pushed to rely on food donations and the community is coming together to help.
This is a grassroots initiative. Residents, community leaders and local businesses have come together to lead the charge, but the entire community will be part of making this miracle happen.
Are you going to be part of this miracle?
Together We Stand
Everyone can participate. Let’s show the world how our community comes together to help each other especially those in need during these challenging times. WindsorEssex has always shown how much we care, how big our hearts are and how resilient we are to all the obstacles and challenges we face. Together, YQG stands strong and proud!
Give Back And Volunteer
You can place a non-perishable on your doorstep on June 27th, at 12:00 pm. You can share posts and graphics on social media. You can make signs, posters, paint car windows, do sidewalk chalk, any art is welcome! You can tell your family and friends about this as well and help them participate, or you can make a donation directly to your local food bank.
It is easy to give back to our Community. You can simply volunteer by signing up on the June 27th Miracle website: https://www.june27miracle.com/
So far there are over 6000 volunteers and more are needed. Leaders encourage your teams to join this movement and ask them to consider volunteering.
Who Needs Help
Many will not ask for help. If you know of anyone who needs food you can add their name by e-mailing the organizers of this event. This pandemic has affected a lot of people as we all deal with the new world we are living in. No one should go hungry and this miracle is to make sure this does not happen.
Reach out to your loved ones, the elderly, your friends and your neighbours to see if they need any help. This is the time to truly care about each other. To help everyone. Period.

Do you have posters for our apartment lobby?
Thanks for asking Leonard. We will e-mail you a copy of the poster you can print or most have been making their own signs and putting them up at home and at their businesses.
