Please Help Us Help Others

deVine Wines & Spirits, participating 104th-St. merchants and condominium residents plan to extend a helping hand to those less fortunate on Dec 17. We are collecting winter wear on behalf of the Edmonton Emergency Relief Services Society through our community “Share the Warmth” clothing drive. If you have any new or clean second hand coats, sweaters, hats, toques, mittens, gloves or socks, please drop them off at deVine Wines. To learn more about our neighbor and charity of choice, please visit the Edmonton Emergency Relief Services Society on their Facebook page at https://goo.gl/38ZfLQ... Please also visit their website at http://www.eerss.org.

A collection bin will be available at deVine Wines to drop off your winter wear donations very shortly. Other collections bins will be placed in condo lobbies and select stores.

On Dec 17, a bin will also be set up in the pocket park located between the alleyway behind Sobeys and the Icon I Tower between 5 pm and 8 pm. The Edmonton Emergency Relief Services Society will redistribute all donated items to those in need.

On Dec 17, customers can enjoy free tastings between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM while they shop. Great wines and premium spirits can be sampled while you browse.

Customers will also have an opportunity to enter to win a free gift basket of wine when you visit us during the month of December. The draw will be made at the close of business on December 17, 2015. No purchase is necessary to enter the draw but you must be of legal drinking age.
