EXIT Project

The funds were awarded to recognize and support Dale Taylor, a Shell Canada retiree. Dale has been working with the Mission and Outreach Committee for several years as coordinator.
"Shell believes contributions of time, effort and caring to non-profit organizations benefit the entire community. Through the Community Service Fund, Shell Canada recognizes and supports Shell people who give personal time to non-profit organizations on a regular, volunteer basis," says Kori Devost, Shell Public Affairs.
"We have supported Shell volunteers through the Community Service Fund for over 20 years. In 1999, Shell Canada granted more than $326,000 to over 240 non-profit organizations across Canada."
The project goal provide heavy-duty washer and dryer equipment for the EXIT drop-in center for use in their street ministry to youth. EXIT is a community outreach service for homeless youth in Calgary. Members and friends of the congregation will raise the additional funds required.
