For the last three years a local family has made a tradition of filling backpacks full of basic supplies and delivering them to the homeless. Jen and Greg along with their kids Liam and Owen are hoping to spread the word and increase donations this year.

I had Liam and Owen on the show to talk about what they’re doing and what they’re looking for.

If you’d like to donate to this cause you can drop off backpacks and supplies at any Banff Lodging Co. hotel or get in touch with Jen Whalen via Facebook.  In addition to the backpacks themselves they could use toques, gloves, warm socks, shampoo, soap, deodorant, band aids, toothbrushes and toothpaste, razors, feminine hygiene products, granola bars, tins of fruit and fish, and Tim Hortons gift cards.  Drop-off deadline is December 10th.
