The Cpportunity Rehabilitation Workshop assesses and trains vocationally
handicapped peopie, helping them to overcome their disausities and to
develop skills that will make them employable. The training programs
depend to a large extent on donations of used clothing, furniture and
appliances. These are repaired and reconditioned and then sold through
.CRW's Thrift Stores, with the revenue going back into the programs to
train more people.

CJIJC, your local radio station, has been most cooperative and zenerous
in giving air time in support of CRW, but we did not operate a pick-up
service for donations in Surrey or Delta. Because of the phone calls
from people who heard the radio announcements and the interest shown,
ORW is now extending its pick-up service to NORTH SURREY and NORTH
DELTA, commencing the week of February 25,

In addition, thanks to the co-operation of local merchants, ORW deposit
boxes are being placed in the following locations. These can be used
for donations of clothing and small articles which can be dropped off
when shopping.
