Again this year, the hamper may be found right in front of the reception desk.
The Hamper Committee has again collected the names of Quebec City families who need some help this Christmas. And we can play our part by bringing in some non-perishables to fill up the basket, or making a donation, or both!
If you would like to make a cash donation, you may give Christine Dick a cheque made out to The Christmas Hamper Campaign, and it will be turned into such perishables as eggs, flour, beef, and turkeys. And of course, tax receipts are issued for donations over $10.
