Dear Editor:
We were touched again this year by our community's giving spirit on the eve of the spirits. This Halloween, for the third year, our family collected healthy canned food items in addition to candy at our neighbours' doorsteps.
The wonderful, spirited residents of Ninth Street between Queens and Fourth Avenue, and our fellow members of the New Westminster Housing Co-op on 10th Street, were especially generous this year, donating 104 items for the emergency food cupboard at St. Barnabas Church.
Our neighbours, as always, set an extraordinary example for our two young sons, aged five and three, the reindeer and snowman whose trick-or-treat bags were filled with donated food for our friends at St. Barnabas. Thank you everyone!
Ed Gillis, Jocelyn Land-Murphy, Heron and Sitka
