It's going to be gorgeous this weekend--a perfect time to head outside to check out all the Festival City has to offer!

However, Winter Light wants you thinking about not-so-warm temperatures when you do.

At the Silver Skate Festival in Hawrelak Park, Winter Light will be collecting winter clothing for the city's less fortunate. It's part of the "Share the Warmth" campaign.

Winter Light's Talia Morrissey says the campaign wants to top last year's haul of 400 donations.

"We're hoping to get at least 500 donations this year. There are thousands of homeless people here in Edmonton and many more that aren't able to sty warm in these cold winters."

You can donate this weekend in Hawrelak by stopping by the Winter Light Welcome tent, but you'll have other chances to give in the coming weeks!  Check out the Winter Light website below for more information. (ms)
