We are much more than simply a Carving Club
Support for The Food Bank
We are pleased to report that our initiative to support the Brockville and Area Food Bank, consisting of funds raised via our two raffles, monetary donations made on entry to our event, and the $100 donated from club coffers, has resulted in a donation to the food bank in the amount of $800.00. In addition to the monetary donation, 44 food items were collected for the food bank. A fantastic show of support to the food bank. Thanks to everyone who made donations and bought raffle tickets. A special thanks those who donated raffle items, Craig McLaughlin, Ray Tourangeau and the family of our long time, departed carving friend Tom Code. MORE. Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to all in 2019

Support for Area Hospitals
Carvings are frequently donated and can be purchased from the Gift Shop with proceeds donated to the hospital. The sale of Comfort Birds carved by members of The St. Lawrence Woodcarvers resulted in a donation of $400 to our local hospital in 2018.

Comfort Birds
These small birds have a two-fold mission: to raise money for those in need and to provide enjoyment. To that end, the birds have flown all across America and even to Russia and Korea. Comfort birds are often given to those in need, such as the ill, blind, homeless, or elderly, or people in disaster areas such as the Hurricane Katrina flood zone, as a token of support and an act of kindness. When gently rubbed, the birds can bring comfort to those struggling with both physical and emotional pain. For many, the small birds serve as tangible reminders that someone loves and cares about them. MORE
