Volunteers and donations make Christmas hampers possible

It’s a busy time of year for all the volunteers who help put together food hampers with which to bless people in the community during the holiday season. All the donations of food have to be sorted and dates need to be checked on each product. But after many years of conducting this worthwhile endeavour, the process works much like a well-oiled machine, enabling Leslie Omness and volunteers like Arlene Goosen (far left) and Mona Graham (far right) to work more efficiently. Together, the Kindersley Food Bank, The Salvation Army and The West Central Crisis & Family Support Centre coordinate the Christmas hampers, which will be distributed the week prior to Christmas. It’s the generous donation of food, toys, time and finances that makes this a reality every year.
