Ripley Lions co-ordinating Christmas giving program again this year

Once again, this year, the Ripley and District Lions Club is pleased to assist those in Huron Township who need some extra help at Christmas.

Individuals or families may be referred through schools, community service agencies or churches. Referrals must be received by Nov. 27, and the delivery date for gifts will be Tuesday, Dec. 9.

Each individual/family will receive a gift card for groceries, and children under the age of 18 who reside in the family home, will receive a gift card of choice.

The Christmas giving program is funded by the generous donations of individuals, service groups, churches, and businesses in the community.

The Lions welcome donations of cash or gift cards. Cheques can be made out to the Ripley and District Lions. Due to the postal strike, cheques for this program can be dropped off at the Ripley Pharmacy, E-transfers may be sent to ripleylionshampers@gmail.com.

For questions about donations or the program, contact John at 519-955-9884.

Thank you for making this a happier Christmas for individuals and families in the community.
