It’s fall. Time to slow down, rest and take stock. After months of striving to find ways to help our community in the face of restrictions and stretched resources, yegSpark is on pause while its backers figure out how to keep it going: caedm.ca/yegspark.

It's harvesting season! We are looking for potatoes and onions to make hearty dishes for the upcoming cold months. If you have spare spuds to donate, give us a call to set up a drop-off appointment! Happy harvesting!

Thanks for spreading the word! It's been great to see all our new followers this week.

A new school year means a new round of community service hours and social justice projects at #ECSD. And @yegSpark can help! Find out more ecsd.net/_ci/p/34920. #ECSDfaithinspires

yegSpark is on vacation, soaking up the waning days of summer. See you after Labour Day, when we’ll have some great new service opportunities to share.

Calling all Alberta post-secondary students: Do you have an idea worth sharing? Today is the official launch of the VacciNATION Campaign! Together, we can prevent future waves of COVID-19 (and make some $$$). More details: concordia.ab.ca/vaccination #abpse #COVID19AB

We told you the need was urgent and you stepped up – fast! @action4hc now has enough volunteers for its pop-up vaccination clinic Thursday. Go Team Vaxx💉💉💉! #ecrrc #yegcares #yegvolunteers #yegvolunteer #vaccinationFTW #yegcovid19 #abvax #COVID19AB
