Deltassist continues to rely on the overwhelming support of the community to meet the increasing need of low-income families, seniors and individuals served by its Christmas programs.
Staff and volunteers are now gratefully accepting donations of toys and food for the annual Toy Depot and Christmas hampers.
This year's Toy Depot will be held Dec. 8, 9 and 10. Toys are needed for children from birth to 16 years of age. As always, the need is greatest for infants and teens.
Christmas food hampers will be delivered by local service clubs on Saturday, Dec. 19. 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 may be dropped off at Deltassist's Ladner office, 4891 Delta St., weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. For more information or for other ways to help, contact Christiann Munro, Deltassist's Christmas program coordinator, at 604-594-3455 or [email protected].
