The Pas Friendship Center is hosting its annual Holiday Toy Drive.

 

Drop boxes have been set up at Red Apple, Shanes, Ace Hardware, Giant Tiger, and CJAR.

 

Donations are being accepted until this weekend, and a big event will be happening at Red Apple and Shanes this Saturday afternoon, where The Pas and OCN Fire departments will be handing out goodies and collecting donations; the event runs from 2-6 pm.

 

The Friendship Center is also collecting donations and accepting applications for their seniors hamper program.

 

Janet Lowther has details for seniors involved in the program.

 

"We're gonna be doing a shout-out for volunteers.  On Tuesday, December 12th, we'll be delivering the hampers to all the senior homes or the assisted living homes.  

 

"And then on Wednesday the 13th, anybody who's living in like their own little house or something, they're gonna have to do a pickup.  Unfortunately, we just don't have enough volunteers, to do deliveries.  It was kind of chaotic last year.  

 

"So this year we're just being like, we're reaching out to everyone that we possibly can."

 

The plan is to hand out 100 hampers to seniors in the community.
