Deltassist’s Christmas programs are in full swing, and staff and volunteers are gratefully accepting donations of toys and food for the society’s annual toy depot and food hampers.
Deltassist continues to rely on the overwhelming support of the community to meet the increasing needs of low-income families, seniors and individuals in Delta.
This year’s toy depot will be held Dec. 11, 12 and 13. Toys are need for children from birth to 16 years of age, and as always, the need is greatest for infants and teens.
Christmas food hampers will be delivered by local service clubs on Saturday, Dec. 22. Items most needed include canned ham and chicken, canned hearty meals (stew, etc.), rice, pasta and sauce, hot chocolate and cookies.
Eligible families must apply in person at one of Deltassist’s offices. Deadlines to apply are Dec. 7 for the toy depot and Dec. 14 for the food hamper program. For program and registration information, visit deltaassist.com/community/deltassist-christmas-programs-information-and-registration.
