Final Christmas hamper push is on!

The push is really on now. To ensure the long list for Christmas hampers needs this year is met, we ask you to remember to contribute what you can. Cash donations ensure needed food items will be supplied. Cheques and/or cash can be dropped off at the Colborne Legion with the bar steward. Food donations are welcome: there are bins located at Colborne’s Foodland, Downey’s pharmacy, here at the Legion, through community churches and at other locations.

The week of Dec. 18, we close down bookings in our banquet room. There will be a band of angels putting together the Christmas hampers going out to people throughout Cramahe Twp.. Thank you one and all for your support of this program, and thanks to our volunteers, too!
