LETTER: Community support makes Langley City man’s care package project a success

A local man had hoped to assemble and distribute 100 kits but was able to do more than 120

Dear Editor,

[Re: Care comes in bundles, Langley Advance Times, Dec. 1]

Thank you so much for the kind support! Heather Colpitts’ published article, in the Langley Advance Times, brought much needed attention to my project; and helped many people, over the holiday season.

The original goal was to create 100 personal care/hygiene kits to distribute to low-income families, seniors, First Nation elders and people experiencing homelessness.

With the Langley community’s help, we were able to distribute more than 120 care kits.

I look forward to maintaining the momentum of this important project, and supporting/creating other future community care services.

Thank you again for your participation in the success of the Langley Community’s Personal Care Kit Project.

Ron Bergen, Accessibility & Inclusion Advocate, Langley City
