‘We are struggling’: Lethbridge charity campaigns need donations as Christmas nears
Volunteers were busy packing gift bundles at Lethbridge Family Services’ Angel Tree Christmas Campaign’s toy depot on Wednesday.
“It’s been quite a good campaign so far, but with this last 500 we are struggling for toys, blankets and teen kits,” said Michelle Gallucci, LFS’s director of advancement and communications.According to Gallucci, each gift bundle includes multiple items totalling at least $75 and current stock won’t be enough for everyone.“We just need to fill these shelves with items so we can give… magical gift bundles, because we don’t want to give less to the last children,” Gallucci said.
“It’s a little disconcerting to see there’s that many people that need it, but we’re very happy we can be here to help support.”
