On Monday, a Toronto Satsang volunteer distributed the backpacks to visiting clients at the Regent Park Community Health Centre, as a heartwarming Valentine’s Day initiative. Each care package included a woollen toque, gloves, a pair of socks, a neck warmer, a fleece blanket, a scarf, a small bag of ginger heart cookies, and a $10 Tim Hortons gift card within a handcrafted Valentines card, all lovingly packed in a drawstring backpack.
