Carlton Guy’s Club gives gifts of winter wear to YWCA
Jersey Mcadam was humble but proud as he lugged bags full of socks and mittens into the YWCA Our House shelter.
He was just one of nearly a dozen boys from the Carlton Comprehensive Public High School Guy’s Club who participated in the “Saders’ Socks for the Soul” program, collecting funds and buying much needed winter wear for those in need throughout the city.
“Especially over Christmas time, a lot of people need socks and gloves so it meant a lot,” the fourteen-year-old Grade 9 student said when asked what giving back meant to him. “A lot of people need clothing items.”
The Guy’s Club was a group founded by a number of educators and police officers this fall, to help the young men learn what it means to be a gentlemen, find their passion and to connect them with the right people and positive male role models.
