Thanks for supporting Needs Program

Dear editor, On behalf of Links2Care I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all those who helped to make our recent Christmas Needs Program a success. We have many families in our community that struggle each and every day to make ends meet and our program helps to meet some of those needs during the holiday season. This past holiday season 134 lower income families, with a total of 284 children, received hampers of new clothing and toys. We are so pleased to be able to offer this program-- we certainly could not provide this many hampers without the help of the churches, businesses and individuals that assisted by sponsoring families and by donating money and gift items. Christmas can be a difficult time of year for many people and often families are very hesitant to ask for help. I can assure you that the families are very grateful and often quite emotional when they receive the hampers. Thank you so much for the wonderful "gift" that you have given to those in need in our community your support is greatly appreciated. Cathy Gerrow Community Support Co-ordinator
