Dozens of volunteers from across our community are performing small tasks so everyone can have a more joyful Christmas and New Year.
At LAMP Community Health Centre, on Fifth St., volunteers were out delivering grocery hampers to those in need that included a turkey and ham.
Thanks to the Ontario Produce Marketing Association and F.E.E.D. Canada for making this dream of happy healthy family dinners a reality this holiday season.
Many residents were thankful and appreciative of the hampers in these challenging food-deprived times. Many of those in need have not wandered far from their homes due to COVID-19.
LAMP officials are thanking the Etobicoke Services for Seniors (ESS) for their help in delivering the food. A shout out also goes to super volunteers Dornel, Levi, Daniel and Remi for the tough work or unloading and distributing the food boxes to cars.
“Your generous gift of your time and strength made this project a huge success,” LAMP officials said. “So nice to see young people making a difference.”
Dozens of Christmas trees were given away at LAMP on December 22 thanks to Tyler, the owner of The Old Sod Pub and Brad, the owner of Two Men and A Truck Etobicoke, who volunteered to help families in need of a nice tree.
They donated White Spruce Christ Trees to people in need and added some tree holders to keep them healthy and watered.
They also delivered a number of trees to people who couldn’t pick them up.
