OUTREACH CLIMATE JUSTICE PROJECT
The Outreach committee has an on-going project to help reduce waste & pollution. Tru Earth is a Canadian eco-friendly company that manufactures small packets of laundry strips to replace large jugs of liquid detergent. One strip will wash a load of laundry. You can check out TruEarth through the St. Luke’s account at: https://fundraising.tru.earth/StLukesAnglicanChurch.
If you like what you see, you can place an order and St. Luke’s will receive 20% of the amount paid which will go to PWRDF’s Mishamikoweesh Water Partnership in Northern Ontario & Manitoba. Thank you so much for helping with Climate Justice! For more information, please contact Rosemary Armstrong at rosemarymarmstrong@gmail.com
