Arriving from Nigeria earlier this year, the thought of getting clothing for free never crossed the mind of 23-year old Emmanuel Joseph.
“I’m fortunate to be in a country here where they give away free clothes to people, not forcing them or selling them to citizens,” says Joseph.
“This is really nice."
Joseph and his family were at the ‘London Let's Be Kind’ event at Silverwoods Arena, where the local charity was giving away donated items.
“Today we saw a lot of newcomer families,” says Kay Habib, the founder of the event and charity.
“They got a lot of clothing for winter and holiday gear, and also just something nice to wear to work."
This is the third time the charity has held a similar event. The first was last November, where hundreds of people attended the outdoor event on Dundas St.
