ON Sunday, November 16 an autobody shop in Surrey was the hosting spot for the Winter Clothing Drive held by Khalsa Aid Canada and Legendary Sikh Riders.

This clothing drive was held in remembrance of Mata Gujri Ji and the Chaar Sahibzaade. The Metro Vancouver Khalsa Aid team and the Legendary Sikh Riders requested the community to drop off new and gently used winter clothing and accessories for youth facing adversity in the Lower Mainland. All the donations were arranged to go directly to the youth or to organizations supporting youth in the Lower Mainland. Additionally, donations to support the Panjab flood relief efforts were collected on site.

Surrey-Newton MLA Jessie Sunner, Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Job Skills, stopped by the clothing drive to show support for the incredible efforts of volunteers from Khalsa Aid Canada and the Legendary Sikh Riders. Since taking on their role, they have consistently highlighted and supported meaningful local initiatives, like this clothing drive, that bring people together and make a real difference in Surrey.

Khalsa Aid is a non-profit humanitarian organization which was founded in 1999 and operates under the principle of selfless service, no matter who they are. Legendary Sikh Riders, the partner organization supporting this event is a non-profit motorcycle club known for their charity work and for proudly expressing their Sikh identity on the road.
