COMMUNITY

The Paris Fire Fighters Club will also be collecting new toys outside Canadian Tire Paris November 28 to December 1st . Other donation drop-off sites include the County of Brant Service Office, LCBO, local banks, TD Bank, YNCU Credit Union, Full Plate, BMO and Primacare Community Centre Local schools are also doing their part and organizing their own food donation programs to donation to the Christmas Hampers. It truly is a community-wide initiative.

The Paris Fairgrounds generously offers space for organizing donations from December 15-20 Volunteers will spend the week preparing for distribution on December 20, ensuring every hamper is packed with care. Due to limited space available for the collection and preparation of hampers, only families that reside in the County of Brant that are in need will be offered an application. Please visit the County of Brant office in Paris, 66 Grand River Street North, until mid-December for an application. Those interested in sponsoring a family or volunteering can reach out to Shirley Simons at 519-442-3550.
