Belleville’s Christmas Sharing Program is making a late call for financial support as it begins to put a bow on its 58th annual campaign.
This year, Christmas Sharing supported 1,334 registered households, with more than 800 children receiving gifts through its partnership with the Belleville Professional Firefighters Toy Drive.
With rising food and housing costs, the program is seeking community support to help cover the final costs of Christmas food hampers and grocery gift card equivalents.
“Christmas Sharing would not be possible without the generosity of our community,” program coordinator Hazel Lloyst stated.
“This year, the need was significant. Our community’s continued financial help will make all the difference to complete our 58th campaign.”
You can donate in-person until Dec. 31 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Christmas Sharing Office on the 2nd floor of Century Place at 199 Front St., by cash, cheque or money order.
You can also donate by mail at Christmas Sharing Program, P.O. Box 22056, Century Place 199 Front Street, Suite 206A, Belleville, ON, K8N 5V7 or online.
