Letter: Annual Santa’s Hut Christmas Drive

Dear Kindersley and area residents,

The staff at the West Central Crisis and Family Support Centre has started planning their 28th annual Christmas Drive Program. The main objective of Santa’s Hut is to raise funds to provide resources, services and free counselling for families and children within the communities the Crisis Centre serves. This program has been organized by the Centre to build self-esteem in the children of our community by allowing any child 14 and under an opportunity to buy NEW GIFTS for their parents, grandparents and siblings. Prices range from $.25 to $6.00 for all gifts.

We are asking residents, clubs and businesses to donate NEW GIFTS ONLY, suitable for children to buy for their family members. There is always a shortage of gifts for men and teenagers, so if you could keep that in mind it would be greatly appreciated. If you would prefer to make a cash donation that would be welcomed, as it enables us to purchase a wider variety of gifts.

Santa’s Hut in Kindersley will be held on December 12, 2023 from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Kindersley Mall. Donation drop off will be at Kindersley Mall Administration Office or West Central Crisis and Family Support Centre Inc. For more information, please call the Centre at 306.463.6655. We encourage everyone to reach out to their closest community, town, or village, as many are hosting their own program.

Official Tax receipts will be issued for any cash donation of $20.00 or more. Receipts can also be issued for gift in kind donations for the purchase price of the item if a cash register receipt is presented with the gift items.

We would once again like to thank you in advance for your support of this great community event.

Happy Holidays,
Misty Leismeister
Santa’s Hut Coordinator
