Share the warmth, share the joy
While some believe it is “the most wonderful time of the year” for many in our community the Christmas holidays can be very stressful, especially for those who struggle to make ends meet on a daily basis.
To help alleviate the issues that comes with that stress, the Battlefords District Food & Resource Centre (BDFC) is once again launching its appeal to provide Christmas cheer to those in need with many activities planned throughout the next few weeks.
“For a lot of us Christmas is a happy time but there are a lot of people in the area who are not as fortunate and don’t see it as a happy time either,” said Erin Katerynych Executive Director of the BDFC. “Fortunately we have such a giving community and with programs such as the Empty Stocking Fund happening in the next few weeks we try to make Christmas a little brighter.”
Katerynych hopes the community will circle Nov. 22 on their calendars for the annual Empty Stocking Fund kick off, which comprises of the Beef on a Bun luncheon at the Third Ave. United Church on 102 St. in North Battleford.
