Grandma's Attic needs your treasures


"Grandma's Attic" is the perfect opportunity this season for you to make a little more room in your home (especially if you are thinking about moving in the new year) and to contribute to a healthier and stronger community.  Family Services a la famille Ottawa is requesting donated items that they can use to raise money for their programs. 

Family Services a  la famille Ottawa (FSFO) is a registered charity which has been serving the Ottawa community for over 95 years.  Since 1914 they have helped over 480,000 families, couples and individuals to deal with challenges and issues, assisting them to live healthier lives.
They have embarked on a unique fundraising project called "Grandmas's Attic".  Donations of collectibles and vintage items such as jewelry, electronics, cameras, toys, sports cards and old vinyl records and other memorbilia are just some examples of what would be greatly appreciated.  Tax receipts will be issued for items with an estimated value of over $100 or more at the time of the donation. 
Whether providing family counselling, facilitating a group on postpartum depression or assisting an individual to rebuild their self esteem after a violent relationship, FSFO is dedicated to the health and well-being of our community.  They hope to use your donated "treasures" to help raise money for their many programs and services.  Whether spring-cleaning, de-cluttering or downsizing, this is a perfect opportunity to make a little more room in your home and to contrubte to a healthier and stronger community.  For more information visit http://www.familyservicesottawa.org/  or http://www.grandmasattic.org/ or call 613-725-3601.

Let's show Ottawa that you care this Season of giving by letting go of some of your old "treasures".
