CLWR seeks temporary warehouse space

CLWR is putting out a call for warehouse space in Winnipeg to temporarily accommodate some of its donated goods. Baled, palletized goods, equivalent in volume to two 40-foot trailers, need a home for two to six months as CLWR ramps up the processing of donations in preparation for its next overseas shipment.

“This is a one-time need, and the hope is that a CLWR supporter has warehouse access with a loading dock, preferably in the Inkster Industrial Park, or elsewhere in Northwest Winnipeg,” says Dennis Coughlan, Warehouse Coordinator. CLWR would be responsible for the movement and loading of goods, adds Coughlan.

The last shipment made by CLWR, sent to Sierra Leone, went out on July 11. Information on the destination of the next shipment will be released when available.
