Yes, you read that right! Christmas Hampers are getting a really early start!
Thank you again everyone at All Saints for your generosity which contributed to a very successful 2023 Christmas Hamper program. We were able to provide grocery and gift cards to 120 families and give them the opportunity to select various items from the Christmas marketplace, which brought them much needed joy.
This was an increase from 2022 when we supported 85 families. We anticipate that as many as 120 families will again need our support in 2024. To that end, we plan to have various activities throughout the year to raise funds for this worthy cause to alleviate the year end rush. We raised $1,000.00 from our KM of coins drive in 2023 and are keeping this successful event going. Thank you everyone for looking in all your drawers for those coins. We have already raised $114.00 this year, keep those annoying pennies and loonies coming. Contribution jars can be found at the 2 morning coffee stations.Revenue from this year’s chocolate sales by St. Margaret’s Guild will also be put toward the Christmas Hampers Fund.
We will keep you posted on future activities and we welcome any suggestions which you can send to Karen Liedeman.
