Sunrise House fundraising on Toque Tuesday
February 2 is not only Groundhog Day, it is also Toque Tuesday.
Grande Prairie’s Sunrise House Youth Emergency Shelter is joining the national effort that sees Raising the Roof and shelters across the country selling toques and other items to raise money.
Sunrise House executive director Tanya Wald says money made here will help support the local shelter’s programs.
“So, we’re looking to people to buy a toque or pair of mitts. We also have masks for sale and if they would like to take a selfie, post it on social media, and let people know that they support these efforts, and support Sunrise House, and Toque Tuesday nationally.”
