The Weyburn Beavers home game on June 4th will be 'Newcomers Night', sponsored by Nexans Weyburn.
Melanie Sorensen with Nexans said they've partnered with Southeast Advocates to collect donations of items to be distributed to newcomers to Canada in the Weyburn area.
"We're excited to be a part of this. We are grateful to have the opportunity to help newcomers to the area," she shared.
"If you're looking for a reason to dig into your closet, get after some spring cleaning, or just want to help out, donations are being accepted at the game next Friday."
Sorensen said they're looking for a variety of items, including essential household items such as kitchenware, bedding, towels, toiletries, new or gently used clothing, especially cold winter items.
"A lot of people come here not prepared for what Weyburn winters have to offer."
She said they'll also gladly accept donations of books, games, toys, and puzzles, as well as cash donations.
Those who can't make it to the game can drop off items directly to Nexans Weyburn at 1770 East Avenue between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on June 3rd and June 4th.
Nexans Weyburn will have people on site volunteering to collect items during the game as the Beavers host the Swift Current 57s. The first pitch is at 7 p.m. at Tom Laing Park.
