🌟Calling businesses big and small - could you donate gender-neutral, quality treats or gifts for our hampers and gift bags? 🌟 For many of our members, the gifts we provide each festive season may be the only ones they receive. We put together 200 hampers and gift bags each year from scratch, so we can only accept donations in increments. In the past, we've had amazing donations of festive decorations, mugs, hand-made chocolates, socks, preserves and more. One of our members last year told us: “Opening up a Christmas hamper, it was my only Christmas present. Someone cared and knew I was still alive; I have none of my own family”. Email: [email protected] if you can help!
