Tis the season to give back and the EPICentre team is always looking for ways to help support members of the Windsor-Essex Community. This past month we held two different fundraisers in support of Windsor Family Homes and Community Partnerships. An organization that provides safe, clean, affordable, and accessible housing to those in need in Windsor and Essex County.

From December 1 – 15, our Makerspace ran a Laser Engraved Ornament Making Workshop that invited members of the University of Windsor community to come by and create custom ornaments. 50% of all proceeds generated in this workshop went towards supporting the initiatives at Windsor Family Homes and Community Partnerships. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported this fun, festive fundraiser!

On December 15th, EPICentre hosted an afternoon of holiday trivia for all members of our ecosystem. Guests were asked to donate canned goods to take part in this event that featured a fun holiday-themed trivia event, snacks from Italian Street Food, and each guest got to take home a custom ornament created in our Makerspace that featured a holiday playlist of all their favourite songs (submitted with their RSVP). Thank you to everyone who donated a canned good and joined us for his event!
