Southview Grand residents issue Mustard Seed fundraising challenge

Feb 28, 2021 | 9:40 AM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – It all started as a list of urgently needed items, but step into the Southview Grand condominiums and you will quickly see that it has blossomed into much more than that.

Containers have been put on every floor, and the contributions to The Mustard Seed have been overflowing.

“The donations were amazing. We had to take some of them out because the boxes were overflowing,” said Southview Grand Condo resident Janet Prihar.

The initiative was spearheaded by members of the condo’s social committee.

“ We are fortunate in this condo. We have I think everything we need, and we aren’t able to travel this year, so some of us have a little extra. So why not help those who need it when we can?” Prihar said.
