Christmas Bureau set for busy season after donation from 100 Women
A hefty donation is marking the end of the year for one local organization and the start of the busy season for another.
100+ Women Red Deer held their fourth and final meeting of 2017 this week, electing to give this time to the Red Deer Christmas Bureau.
It’s expected the Christmas Bureau will receive around $14,000, in line with previous donations this year by 100+ Women to The Lending Cupboard, Central Alberta Brain Injury Society and Family Services of Central Alberta.
Red Deer Christmas Bureau President Teresa Kutynec says they gave out nearly 1100 hampers in 2016, and is ecstatic at receiving this boost to kick-start this year’s holiday season.
