Regina organization ‘scarf bombs’ neighourhood with simple act of kindness
The purpose is to help people who need warm items during the chilly weather in the city. The scarf event started with a breakfast and finished with a prayer and some Indigenous drumming. The HCA director said they put out more than 1,000 items out on Tuesday morning and were all gone within minutes.
“With winter coming in early this year, we literally depleted a lot of resources — not just us, but Carmichael friendship the Trinity Lutheran Church,” said Wendy Miller. “Everybody is trying their best. But I think we’re realizing that we really need the people above us to step up and help out. We can’t carry this burden.”Miller said it was just another day at Heritage. The neighbourhood covers areas from Saskatchewan Drive down Broad Street to College Avenue and Victoria Avenue to Arcola.
