MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - July 21, 2010) - Welcome Hall Mission is warning Montrealers to beware of a door-to-door solicitor collecting donations on behalf of the Mission. "We do not go door-to-door," declares Cyril Morgan, the Mission's CEO/Executive Director. "This person is not associated with us, so we want to warn the public that this is going on."

Welcome Hall Mission has recently received calls from residents of the South-West borough saying that a woman has been knocking on doors, showing a plasticized Welcome Hall Mission card and asking for money for victims of house fires. She is described as a French-speaking, Caucasian woman of medium height with curly brown hair.
