Jacket Racket - Oct/Nov
Jacket Racket is a volunteer organization that has been providing clean, gently used winter jackets to Calgary children since the 1980’s. Coats, snow pants, hats and mittens in baby to teen sizes are collected, sorted and distributed by a group of dedicated volunteers. The distribution is done through the Calgary Board of Education and the Calgary Catholic School District. http://jacketracketcalgary.com/
