"They are a BIG HEARTED organization who see the need right here at home to share some love and hope to children through filling shoe boxes with all sorts of special things who otherwise might not feel the special love that Christmas brings most of us! If you pack shoe boxes at Christmas time already, consider this organization to help kids feel some TLC right here@home!!! There is a BIG need, may God continue to bless them as they keep spreading more and more love to more and more kids each year. " Deanna Ouellette
Saskatoon’s TLC@Home’s mission is to touch the lives of local children in such a way as to love, care for, inspire, motivate and to give hope of opportunities by which they can improve their lives and those around them.
Every year they fill shoeboxes full of items the children need as well as toys and books. They are delivered to five Saskatoon inner-city schools at this time and they are hoping to continue to grow the program.
This is achieved along with community partners:
