#LoveMTL #BringTheHeat! December 8, 2014 – Posted in: Miscellaneous
This winter we are pleased to be participating in LoveMTL’s #BringTheHeat Campaign to help bring new socks, hats, mittens, and scarves to kids (ages 5-12) in need. We have installed a #BringTheHeat box in front of our cash area and hope that our customers will donate many of these items between now and December 31st. Purchased items are wonderful, items knitted with love – even better! Love Montreal aims to fill 20 boxes to be brought to the Welcome Hall Mission – an organization with an expertise in serving underresourced families in Montreal – at the end of the month. Several other Montreal merchants are participating in this initiative but we have confidence that our amazing customers will ensure that Espace Tricot is able to provide the most donations by December 31st!

Wow Melissa! I wish I’d known about this initiative sooner. Hopefully this will be a yearly thing!

Hi Michele – we were just approached and received the box on Friday! We hope it will be an annual thing as well. Please note that purchased items are just as appreciated as hand knit things so there’s still time shop and bring something in 🙂

Sadly I only just found out about this or I would have shared it much sooner. Love this campaign!
