Lighthouse asking for community’s support during holidays
The Lighthouse Serving the Battlefords is encouraging residents to support the homeless during the holiday season.
Executive director Don Windels said the Lighthouse, located in North Battleford, has sent a mail-out to residents for its current fundraising campaign.
“We are a little bit short on the fundraising side,” he said. “We are still hoping that – between now and the end of the year – people will choose us as a good place to invest their donation dollars.”
The Lighthouse also needs people to donate winter items such as adult-sized mittens, toques as well as winter coats and boots that are new or gently used.
