Near the end of the year of 2020, IIKELC donated over 250 backpacks filled with homemade blankets, teddy bears and other small souvenirs. The backpacks were divided and distributed to local daycares of Iqaluit, new mothers and mothers to be staying in the community, as well as families with young children. Thank you to Jabez Ministry for the generous donation.
