The Friends of Oakley is still accepting registrations, donations and volunteers for its annual Christmas Basket Program. The group is a community foundation that serves as a tool to strengthen the community through philanthropy and educational opportunities, connecting people who care about causes that matter. The program provides holiday meal fixings and wrapped presents for Oakley families. Donated, non-
perishable food and gifts from the community are gathered in collection bins, and volunteers sort and wrap gifts to bring a bit of joy to those who need a helping hand. In order for the Christmas basket distribution to take place on Sunday, Dec. 11, donations and volunteers are still very much needed. For more information, or to donate or volunteer, visit https://goo.gl/7R874m.
