Groovy Yurt owner Yves Ballenegger arrived in Toronto this morning from Gatineau, Quebec.
Yves’ 18-wheeler was loaded with sewing machines, art supplies, food, kitchen supplies, games and Lego blocks.
A large assortment of fabric, leather, buttons, notions and other sewing accessories donated from the Ryerson School of Fashion is also on board.
At the Rolston Home Building Centre, generous donations were used to purchase building supplies.
Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence sent a list of prioritized items such as plexiglass for window repairs, nails, caulking, insulation, copper plumbing connectors and exterior doors and frames, for much needed home repairs.
There is more room on the truck and donations are still being accepted. To donate click here.
