The Community Connections Food Bank’s Christmas Hamper program is in full swing. Here (l-r) Gladys, Patti, Matt, Joan, Mark and Kathleen sort donations at their centre in the basement of the Revelstoke Legion. The need is great this year, please consider dropping by with your donation from Monday to Saturday from 11-3. They accept all kinds of donations, including food, household items, gifts, and practical items for people of all ages. Also look for drop boxes at major retailers or dozens of events around town. Don’t forget to thank the volunteers at the food bank for this important community initiative! Photo: Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Mountaineer

It’s the time of year for giving and making a difference in someone else’s life. Community Connections Food Bank is seeking donations for their annual Christmas Hamper program.

Volunteers are busy putting together care packages for community members of all ages, from toys to kids, items to support families, and care packages for seniors in the community.

You can drop by their collection centre in the basement of the Revelstoke Legion to donate.

We stopped by the Christmas Hamper program to speak with director Patti Larson to find out what’s needed this year. Check out the interview with Patti here:

If you’re looking to donate, drop by the Hamper Depot in the basement of the Revelstoke Legion. Here are details on the items they are seeking.
