Preparations are underway for a Thanksgiving dinner for all the migrant workers from Mexico in the Similkameen.
At this time, organizers are in need of some donated suitcases.
It seems that the Mexican workers in our region practice “cross border shopping” - in a way that benefits local business for a change.
The Mexican farm labourers arrive in the spring with their belongings in a small bag, but since they are allowed to take some things back to their country, they tend to accumulate a few items prior to their return to Mexico at the end of the growing season.
If you have a suitcase suitable for donaton, please call Sandy Diaz - Hart at:

She can make arrangements to pick up your suitcases, or have them delivered to Cheers church on Main Street, Penticton during Spanish classes.
