Food hamper campaigns changing

PRINCE GEORGE – Two Christmas food hamper campaigns will be very different this year.

The Council of Seniors will be accepting donations of cash and grocery gift cards this year, not food. The Council will then shop and put together hampers.

“We’re accepting applications for hampers until December 4th,” explains Lola-Dawn Fennell, Executive Director for the Council. “Seniors must be 65 years old age and in receipt of the Guaranteed Income Supplement to qualify. We will look at how many applicants we have and try to determine how to fill hampers appropriately.”
