Canadian Pacific Holiday Train

Canadian Pacific Holiday Train
Join us this Saturday December 3rd in Downtown Davenport (Freighthouse) at 12:30 p.m. We will be attending as well as volunteering our services for the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train. One of the best ways to kick-off the Holiday Season here in the QC! This event consists of seasonal festivities and a free concert. Canadian Pacific has turned a boxcar into a traveling stage-and trust me its something beautiful to see! The purpose is to raise money, food, and awareness for local food banks. This event was founded in 1999. They have covered over 100,000 miles, have raised close to $12 million, and collected 3.9 million pounds of food since the start of this program in 1999. We are so greatful to have the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing cause! We encourage all attendees to bring non-perishable food items or even cash donations to support our community. Every pound of food and dollar raised at each stop stays with the local community to help those in need. How awesome is that? Come join us, Churches United, and Canadian Pacific, in our efforts to make a difference one stop at a time! We hope to see you there!
