THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 01, 2012 THE NEW TANNER 15 EWCS NEWS EWCS Christmas Hampers Christmas may be almost two months away, but the elves at EWCS are already starting to prepare for Christmas and the annual Christmas Hamper program. If you would like to participate in by sponsoring a family and helping make someone's Christmas a lot brighter than what it would otherwise be, please contact Erika Westcott or Darci Burgess for more details. There are many ways to help with this program, from sponsoring gifts or Christmas meals for a family or a combination of both. So many families struggle at Christmas and this program is one way EWCS continues to support our community members in need.
