Winter is here and we all need to be bundled up for the cold weather. Many children in the township of North Dundas are not fortunate enough to be properly dressed for the season.
The North Dundas Christmas Fund, in conjunction with the local Lions Clubs, Royal Canadian Legions and local schools and churches, all unite to fill this need. Last Christmas, the North Dundas Christmas Fund gave out 73 new snowsuits to children 13 and under, each costing an average of $45.
The fund also distributed 166 food baskets to families in the area, representing 143 children and 299 adults. Food drives are organized through the schools and churches and financially supported in part by industry, local service clubs and private donations.
If you would like to help in this mission, please make your cheque payable to the North Dundas Christmas Fund and mail it to P.O. Box 27, South Mountain, Ontario, K0E 1W0. We also accept e-transfers at northdundaschristmasfund@gmail.com.
Those in need thank you very much.
