December 11th, 2019
On December 9, 2019, our Charities Committee loaded all the Gift of Love hampers to be taken to the Wilmot Family Resource Centre sorting station at the former arena site in New Hamburg.
It is hard to do justice in a couple of pictures to just how much the W-O community donated this year. We delivered 40 completely full hampers (four Large, 18 Medium, and 18 Small), which is actually more hampers than W-O had spoken for. Thanks to those homerooms who collected spare food and $$ which they contributed to completing hampers.
In addition to these 40 complete hampers, we delivered 40 extra sets of fresh produce (carrots, cabbage and apples), 10 extra boxes of food, and four extra boxes of gifts that the Family Resource Centre will use to complete other hampers.
A special thanks goes out to K-DAC Transport for their continued support delivering the hampers and to TLC Pet Food for donating the boxes.
Thank you so much to all the staff and students whose contributions will bless so many families in our community this holiday season!
