In June, 2016, Healing Hands’ Wood Shop burned down. The Wood Shop, located in an inner-city neighbourhood in Regina, was part of a work program for youth and young adults where they built cedar strip canoes and re-purposed pallets into furniture and other creations. They also partner with other youth service organizations to support marginalized and vulnerable young people, and encourage them towards holistic life development. Approximately half of Healing Hands’ programming was done through this shop, so this is a significant loss.
They are now in the process of the rebuild and have run into a snag. According to building codes, their new building needs a washroom. This increases the cost of the building by approximately $30,000, mostly because of where they need to trench to achieve sewer access. This is not covered by insurance, since the original building did not have a washroom.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

CityKidz Regina works with children ages five to twelve living in under-privilege communities. They provide a Saturday afternoon program of songs, games, skits, and lessons, through which the children learn love, hope and faith.
They have 130 children registered with CityKidz, with 85-90 attending every Saturday. However, they currently have less than half the number of volunteers needed to fully run the program at this level.
By volunteering at CityKidz, you will impact the lives of these children, and help to build the next generation of leaders within our schools, our communities, our city and our province.
For more information, check out their poster, or contact Donna at 306-529-8656.
