"The Optimist Club of South Windsor will host its second Picnic in the Park event of the summer, combining fun and fellowship with a focused effort to support Drouillard Place and Matthew House Windsor.

The event will take place on Sunday, July 27th, from 12:00pm to 2:00pmat Mic Mac Park – Pavilion 6."

"'This isn’t just about hot dogs and fun,' said a spokesperson for the Optimist Club. 'This is about showing up for our neighbours and supporting the amazing work of Drouillard Place and Matthew House Windsor — organizations that make a real difference every single day.'

Drouillard Place provides services and outreach to support children, youth, and families in Windsor’s east end. Matthew House Windsor offers shelter and essential resources for refugee claimants and displaced individuals as they rebuild their lives in Canada."

Glad to see some good work being put in to make Windsor a better and more accommodating place. If anyone has some old (but not expired!) cans or dry goods to spare, go visit the park tomorrow drop it off, and grab yourself a hotdog while you can.
