A Christmas season tradition, the North Dundas Parade of Lights, returns this year, winding its way through the village of Winchester, on Saturday December 7. The parade will leave the Hydro yard at 7 p.m. and the route will offer opportunities to help our community. Volunteers in vests and ID tags will be walking the parade route and accepting monetary and food donations on behalf of Community Food Share and the North Dundas Christmas Fund, which organizes the Christmas baskets. The need this year for both food and Christmas baskets is greater than ever, with client numbers for Community Food Share increasing monthly. The Christmas Fund which shares the parade proceeds with Community Food Share is also seeing an increase in demand as inflation and increased costs take a larger bite out of everyone’s disposable income. If you are able to help with either a pantry item or a cash donation, we look forward to seeing you along the parade route on the 7th.
