Millbrook and District Foodshare volunteers are getting organized for this year’s Christmas Hamper program which distributes hampers each year to local families.
Hampers are prepared for registered recipients and include non-perishable food items as well as fresh local produce and a voucher for a protein item from our local Foodland.
Hampers are only available to those regular registered clients. Registration takes place from November 1 until November 30 either by phone or in person at Foodshare during their regular hours. To register by phone please call 705-932-7066 and leave a message indicating the number of people in the family and all children’s ages and gender. This is done for our Fill a Child’s Stocking program as well. Hampers will be available for pick upon Thursday December 18th between 2 pm until 5 pm.
Our Hampers will once again be supplemented by our 4th Annual Fill a Child’s stocking program organized by Director of Community Out-reach and Social Media volunteer Lori Lazaros and Stacey Knight owner of Blank Canvas Hair and Art Studio. Residents can adopt a child 15 years of age and under from Foodshare and they will receive a stocking with the age and gender of child. Volunteers Lori Lazaros and Brenda Ballantyne will be at Blank Canvas Hair and Art studio (12 King St East)on Saturday, November 29th from 10 am until 1 pm registering community members and handing out stockings! All stockings must be returned to Blank Canvas no later than Saturday December 13th. New unwrapped items only please. We need all items to fit in stocking and ask that the total value of items do not exceed $40.00. For more information, call or text Lori at 416-318-6075. Many thanks!
