This past weekend, For the People from the People held their coat drive to warm up those in need. The group posted this on their Facebook page. 

"THANK YOU GRANDE PRAIRIE!!!! OVER 300 ITEMS HAVE BEEN DONATED to Grande Prairie's people in need.

We have successfully delivered your items to the Youth Emergency Shelter, Odyssey House and the Saint Lawrence Centre.

I want to personally thank each and every generous individual who took time out of their busy lives to make this #actofkindness happen. Between the coat gatherers, the donors, the deliverers, the 50+ singles club, the radio station hosts, and our consistently selfless friends, We have come to know some TRULY amazing humans.

Humans who genuinely care. Humans who aren't hesitant to give back and lend a hand. This is what it's about for me. Coming together as a community to care without limitations for those in need. For strangers in need.

Hats off to you Grande Prairie for lifting each other up to do something so so good.

Thank you for standing together as a community, and thank you for showing me how powerful love can be. Melanie
