Deltassist's Christmas programs are gearing up as staff and volunteers are gratefully accepting donations of toys and food for their annual Toy Depot and Christmas food hampers.
Deltassist continues to rely on the overwhelming support of the community to meet the increasing need of low-income families, seniors and individuals in Delta.
This year's Toy Depot will be held Dec. 10 to 12. Gifts are needed for children up to 16 years of age and as always, the need is greatest for infants and teens. For teen gift or stocking stuffer suggestions, log on to www.deltassist.com.
Christmas food hampers are being delivered by local service clubs on Saturday, Dec. 21. Items most needed include breakfast cereals, canned ham and chicken, canned hearty meals (stew), peanut butter, rice, pasta and sauce, hot chocolate and cookies.
New, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items can be dropped off at the Deltassist office in Ladner, 4891 Delta St., weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.
