HEARTS FOR HOPE We gather together each month in the Waterloo area to make heart shaped pillows that we donate to breast cancer patients at local hospitals. The pillow is designed to be placed under the arm to ease pain and tension, as well as provide emotional support to the patients who are always uplifted to receive our pillows which are made with love. No sewing skills are needed, please join this delightful group of ladies and help us to support more breast cancer patients! Find out how you can be involved | ANGEL TREE Each year for St. Niklas Day, the AWCB raises funds, coordinates, collects, and distributes gifts for children in need in the Brussels area with collaboration from local charities.

Who the AWCB SupportsProject Lina Named after long-time AWCB member Nancy Evans' daughter, Lina. When Lina passed away suddenly, Nancy partnered with Lina's previous employer and a local charity, Nativitas, to sponsor summer activities for children in need in Brussels.
