Red Deer Christmas Bureau sees significant increase in applications within first three days
Although we may have just finished Halloween, the holiday season will be here before we know it and the Red Deer Christmas Bureau is already seeing many families planning ahead.
Serving communities for over 60 years, the Bureau provides individuals in need with assistance for Christmas meals and children’s presents.
The Bureau began accepting applications on November 1 and will be doing so until December 15 for families in Red Deer, Red Deer County, Penhold and Springbrook.
Teresa Kutynec, President of the Bureau, says they have already received applications of around 20 families per day since opening, a significant increase from last year.
