A group of Dentists in Dauphin has donated brand new winter clothing for the children that are part of the Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund. The families and their children were surprised with the donation last night at Reit-Syd Equipment.
Dr. Glen Haugen says it was important to the group to make sure all the children were ready for the winter.
"What it started out as, is they asked for clothing that people had, and we got together a bunch of clothing that was just at the house, clothing from our kids and stuff they'd outgrown and whatnot. Then we got such positive feedback, that they were so happy from getting the clothing, we thought that we could do better than used clothing. We talked with Don (Tarrant) to ask if it was possible to do this, and when he said yes, then I went back to the other dentists and we got organized and decided we'd do it for all the kids."
