Christmas Hampers
What we offer:
The Central Peace FCSS offers administration and volunteer recruiting for the effective distribution of the Christmas Hampers.
The FCSS Co-coordinator/Board will facilitate the distribution in the Village of Rycroft, Town of Spirit River, and the Municipal District of Spirit River. An application must be made which includes: Full Name and Residence, Number of residents at the location, Ages and Gender of children. You can find the application form at the bottom of this page.
If you live outside of the FCSS area, then applications can be sent through the administration offices of County of Birch Hills and County of Saddle Hills, who then facilitate the distribution of the hampers to their residents.
In 2018 we handed out a total of 44 hampers with gifts to families and individuals in our community, helping them to have a great Christmas/Holiday season. In 2019 that number was 62 hampers! Due to the shutdowns of COVID-19, our numbers in 2020 was 86 hampers within all but Saddle Hills, who gave out about 39 of their own.
Central Peace FCSS wishes to express our thanks to all community members, businesses and municipalities for all of your donations and hard work.
Volunteers
We would like to thank all the volunteers who came out and helped with the sorting of food and building of the hampers, as well as the volunteers who helped hand out and deliver the hampers on the weekend before Christmas. We could not successfully get this amount of food and gifts to our residents without your dedicated generosity!
