Donation Growth

This year posed many challenges for A Brief Moment due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. However, we soldiered on and came out stronger than ever. This year we received 634 pairs of underwear!

The outcome of our donation drive during this Pandemic really goes to show how amazing our community has been in showing up for their neighbours in need.

Our donations allowed us to continue to support 4 of our local shelters in Waterloo region, dividing the donations received.

Community Events and Features

Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we were unable to have physical appearances at our regular events. However, this was also the year we had to get creative and we introduced our Virtual Raffles which generated the bulk of our donations for this year.

Continuing Events and FeatureS

Unfortunately we were unable to attend our usual spot at Cambridge Farmers Market, or return to the Kitchener Market. However, had the circumstances of the year not occurred we would have been approved to be there.
