The Crescent Valley Resource Center is responsible for hosting one heck of a Christmas party: of the over 300 families that live in the neighbourhood, over 200 people showed up last year.
That means they need donations of cash, door prizes and more to make Christmas merry for kids living in the North End community. Executive Director Anne Driscoll tells CHSJ News this year they want to give every family a game they can enjoy together, like Trouble, Cranium, and Chutes and Ladders.
Door prizes like: grocery store gift cards, passes or tickets to sporting / cultural events, city transit bus passes, coffee shop gift cards, movie passes, and other family-friendly items are welcome. They also we welcome cash donations to provide children attending the party with small seasonal treats such as clementines, candy canes, and gingerbread cookies.
To make a donation, or if you wish to help in another way, call 693-8513. The donations need to be in by November 15th, which is next week.
