Saskatchewan in a day

We delivered to Saskatoon and Regina today. Of note, MLA Warren McCall joined us in Regina. Thanks for your support Warren. Tomorrow we will join 30 local CEO's who have spent the night on the corner of Portage and Main in Winnipeg. They are doing it to raise awareness and funds for a program that finds work for former street people. Breakfast television has requested that we make an appearance as well.
Glad to lend a hand.

3 deliveries complete

With this years severly truncated schedule it will be very difficult to update the BLOG as often as I would like. Please join us at www.Facebook.com/gotginch for regular updates.

So far we have delivered to Vancouver's Union Gospel Mission and the Mustard Seed in both Calgary and Edmonton. We are presently on the road to the Bridge Saskatoon. We will deliver to The Bridge at 10 am Wednesday followed by a delivery to Souls Harbor Rescue Mission, Regina in the afternoon. Multiple drops each day will shorten the overall time away from home but will certainly take a toll on our bodies.

All three Shelters saw good media exposure that we hope helps in their specific fundraising efforts and greater awareness of the issues.

Huge shout out to my Wife and Son who, for three years running, have allows me to do this cazy adventure.

Ginch be with you.

We begin deliveries Sept 27th 2011

Our Trip Begins Sept 27 with the first drop of 10. We will deliver 3,500 pairs of Ginch to Union Gospel Mission in Vancouver. We hit the road that afternoon and will make our next stops in Calgary and Edmonton on the 28th. Stay tuned as we will update you on our progress as much as possible. We are trying to shave a few days off the trip this year but don't worry we will deliver to the same ten cities as last year.
