Christmas is a happy time – for most of us. But, for a few people in Nanoose Bay, it is a time of sadness. High expectations, money woes, and loneliness can be intensified during the holiday season.
The NCS Elf Program helps to brighten the season for our less fortunate neighbours by matching them with sponsors. If you would like to make a difference to a neighbour, contact the Chief Elf (below), she will give you a list of what your family or senior would like for Christmas, and you go shopping. Keep the receipts (for a tax deduction), bring the gifts to the Elf Room at Nanoose Place by the date specified and they will be given to the family or senior.
Contact Maureen Moore (to sponsor or ask for more information) by completing the following form or call her directly at 250-468-5554.
