Christmas Hamper Day
Volunteers Needed!
December 19
Our target is to prepare and deliver 170 hampers on that day. We are now receiving referrals and accepting donations. Cash donations are especially needed, as detailed below.
Referrals: Referrals are accepted from Parish school counselors, and through the SSVP intake line at 403-249-0423 ext 122.
Donate: Monetary Donations to SSVP are used to purchase food at wholesale prices, and may be made through:
– the collection box, noted for Christmas Hampers
– depositing the green envelopes located in the SSVP donation bin/lockbox in the gathering area
– online at saintmichael.ca/giving.
Please include your clearly printed name and address – tax receipts will be issued in January 2023.
Food Donations: Christmas Hampers contain a standard list of goods and quantities, purchased wholesale, at a substantial cost saving. SSVP provides support to families year-round, and food donations received this month that are not on our list will be placed in the larder, for use by SSVP to address late hamper requests and after-Christmas hamper needs. Thank you to our Parish schools who are conducting food drives in support of SSVP.
Thank you to all our faithful Parish members who signed up last weekend to assist with hamper preparations and delivery. It is great to see the desire to help, especially after the past two years of reduced service. We are contacting all those who signed up and will be in touch about your assignment.
We do need more volunteers to help with delivery on the night of December 19.
Importantly, those delivering hampers are required to have an updated Police Check on file, and complete Praesidium training. Note it can take up to 4 weeks to process but can be completed online. To check if your volunteer requirements are up to date, please contact Marvin Matthews MMatthews@saintmichael.ca
Gifts for Children: The Angel Tree will be available the weekend of November 26/27, where our Angel Gift Tags hold a child’s special request. Shop for that special gift and return it to be enclosed with the hamper going to the family.
