As part of their effort to distribute Christmas hampers, Niverville Helping Hands is getting ready to collect children’s toys for the holiday season.

The toy drive will begin on November 12 and continue until December 1. Donation boxes will be set up around Niverville. The exact locations are yet to be confirmed, but a full list will be available on the Helping Hands website and Facebook page (see below). Families needing a hamper can make a request on the website.

“The Christmas season may be filled with friends and  family, joy and celebrations,” says Sandra Trinkies, Helping Hands’ Christmas Coordinator. “Often that includes lavish meals and gifts. There are families in our community who want to celebrate this way, but financially they do not have the means for gifts and turkey or ham dinners. Through the generosity of our community, Niverville Helping Hands has an opportunity to share these blessings with those in need, and can help us as volunteers feel the Christmas Spirit in the process.”

Trinkies says that Helping Hands distributed hampers to 59 families in the local area last year.
