It’s that time of year again – the Elf Program trees are up across Nanoose!
The NCS holiday Elf Program helps to brighten the season for Nanoose families, individuals and seniors facing hardships by providing the local giving community with the opportunity to purchase and gift clothes, toys, food vouchers, household goods, and other meaningful items.
HOW TO GIVE THROUGH THE ELF PROGRAM
Find one of the decorated trees at partnering Nanoose locations, pick a tag off the tree that has a specific gift request on it. Purchase that gift and return your unwrapped gift to the same location on or before December 10th.
You’ll find the Elf Trees at:
Fairwinds Wellness Club (Note: The Fairwinds Golf Club does not have a tree this year due to temporary closure of the Club House restaurant, visit the Wellness Club for tree instead)
Nanoose Place
St Mary’s Church
Nanoose Post Office
Springford Farm
Nanoose Bay Elementary School (look for a basket, not a tree at the school)
Sponsor a family or senior
If you would like to sponsor gifts for a family or a senior, please contact head elf Geraldine Taron; gtaron@telus.net
You can contribute as an individual, a business or interest group.
