“This is a very difficult time for many in our vulnerable community,” Kelly Thomson, Mustard Seed managing director says. “They are separated from family and feel that they have no hope. It is important that we talk with them and offer them hope for a better future. Their book is not fully written, they can escape the drugs and street life if they want to, and we are here to help with that.”

More information about online donations and drop-offs is online.
