Appreciating Lethbridge’s supports throughout 2016
LETHBRIDGE – As the Christmas season fast approaches, it’s a good time to pause for just a moment to appreciate the joys of the Christmas season and the amazing blessings we enjoy each and every day throughout the year. As your Member of Parliament, I would like to take this opportunity to spread a little cheer and recognize all of the great work being done in the Lethbridge community.
I would like to thank all of Lethbridge’s local charities and dedicated volunteers for your willingness to serve our community passionately and wholeheartedly. This is a time to celebrate all that you have accomplished throughout the year and acknowledge that our community is stronger because of you.
In the spirit of the season, we remember that every contribution helps. Whether it is volunteering an hour of your time, or simply dropping off a few canned goods at the food bank, every action we take makes a difference in the Lethbridge community. I encourage you and your family to consider how you might share in the spirit of giving this season. There are some great initiatives taking place in our community and I encourage everyone to participate in one of these acts of goodwill.
The Lethbridge Food Bank, Interfaith Food Bank, and Salvation Army are partnering together for the 10th year in a row through a “Christmas Hope” which ensures that every member of our community is cared for this Christmas. One way to get involved with “Christmas Hope” is through the “Adopt a Family Program.” By adopting a family and providing them with the essentials for enjoying a merry Christmas, you will help to make this season extra special and one to remember for a family in our community. You can contact the Interfaith Food Bank at (403) 320-8779 to receive the age and gender of each family member as well as a list of items to include with your bundle.
