Midnight Kitchen:

Coat Project:
Are you new to Canada and starting to feel cold already? If you are lacking a winter coat or the funds to invest in one, stop by the McGill Chaplaincy service from November to February, 10am – 4pm, and sift through the donated, slightly worn coats and give one a new home—on your back!
