Community Cart round up event by Mission Adopt-A-Block

We were blessed to have the help of one man for many years, who on his own time and effort, EACH day, he would scour the streets of Mission, looking for mis-placed shopping carts, picking them up and returning them to their rightful owners. Asking little in return from them except a donation to his beloved charity (Adopt-a-Block). Howard Noa, passed away earlier this year after a very brief battle with lung cancer. His passing was sudden to many and his friends and family continue to feel this loss daily.
Howards birthday is coming up on Tuesday, July 30th and the crew at Adopt-a-Block wanted to come up with a way to honour Howard for all the years or dedication and hardwork he committed to us and his community. Since his passing, the carts on the streets have been adding up substantially, so we have decided to do a "CART ROUND-UP" event in Howards memory.
On Tuesday, July 30th from 3pm-6pm we will be meeting at the AAB office at 7229 Mershon St, and sending teams of volunteers out into the community to collect any carts that they see astray, once all collected we will contact each store to come and retrieve their lost carts. All donations received on this day from the returning of the carts will be donated to another great charity that was close to Howard's heart, the Valley Christian School. We will close the day with a BBQ in Howards honour with friends, family and volunteers all welcome to attend.
Please help us share this event to everyone in the community. ITs a great way to honour a man, help the community, and give back! Open to all ages. For more information please call Kristin at 604-832-6361 or email missionadoptablock@gmail.com
