After more than a decade of being out of service, the Welcome Wagon has restarted in the South Cariboo. The Welcome Wagon program supports families by providing a gift basket full of community information, handy items and gift certificates to new parents or new residents.

This often includes home visits and assisting newcomers and new parents with questions about the community and its services, she explains. “Anybody can call. If someone is far out of town, I can maybe meet them at a coffee shop somewhere.” The first two families Simpson gave out her baskets to have new babies.

Mile House Free Press subscriptions. So far, a total of 34 businesses are sponsoring the community baskets, she notes. “Welcome Wagon has had great support from our local businesses.” The Community Basket currently has a value of more than $350, while the Baby Welcome Basket is worth more than $175. Sponsors can also gain something back from their support, as promotional items and local business information are among the helpful items, Simpson adds. Folks can find Welcome Wagon on Facebook, in 100 Mile House Free Press advertising, or by calling Simpson at 250395-1380, 250-706-9744, or e-mailing her at simpson.jan@shaw.ca.
