As the decorations go up, area businesses are also bringing out boxes, barrels and bins to collect unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items to make Christmas merry and brighter for some local families and individuals.
At Clarke’s Service Centre and Jule’s Kitchen on Tupper Street in Millbrook, there is a bright blue barrel on display, already receiving unwrapped toys that will be collected and distributed by the Millbrook Legion. Donors are invited to enter a draw to win either a one-hour photo session with CJ Photography, a $50.00 gift card redeemable at Clarke’s and Jule’s Kitchen, or a beautiful gift basket filled with goodies. Visit the counter at Jule’s to see examples of CJ’s work and the spectacular gift basket. The draw will be held on December 9 at Jule’s. Read more in this week’s paper.
