Members of the U13 Pembina Valley Hawks hockey team are helping bring some holiday cheer this December as they go door-to-door in Carman collecting food, toy and momentary donations for the Carman and District Christmas Cheer Board.
Danielle Wiebe and Bekka Bartley are two of the members who canvassed homes and both said they were proud to help out the community.
“It’s important to me to help the less fortunate in our community,” Wiebe shared. “It feels good to know that we are helping to make the season brighter for families in our community.”
Bartley had similar remarks.
“We want to spread Christmas cheer and help out where we could,” she explained. “We wanted to be a part of helping others in our community that are in need.”
Together the PV Hawks team were able to fill two large bins with donations as well as collect 200 bags of flour from Prairie Flour Mill and raise $400, but the girls are not done yet.
Team members will be knocking on doors around Carman until Dec. 16 as well as have donation bins available at their home games. Once everything is collected, they will drop off the donations to the Carman Cheer Board as a team.
“[It’s been] very exciting seeing how people give when we knock on their door,” Bartley added. “It makes me feel good knowing we got to be a part of something really amazing in our community and to bless others.”
