Make a child’s wish for Santa come true
The 爆料黑社 community is invited to once again make a child鈥檚 wish for Santa come true by participating in the Batshaw Youth and Family Centres annual Holiday Gift Campaign. The goal is to provide gifts and needed items for approximately 1,500 children aged 0-17 who are under Youth Protection in the Montreal region, including children in foster care and group homes.
Janice Harvey (Retired Faculty, History) is looking for:
- Individuals or teams/departments to be matched with children and their wish lists for Santa (suggested value $50 per child)
- Volunteers to help her deliver gifts to the Batshaw facility nearby on Weredale Park Street in Westmount.
If you are interested in being matched with a child or helping Janice with delivery:
- please email her as soon as possible and before Friday, Dec. 8 – she needs to have the gifts at Batshaw by December 13. :聽jharvey@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.
Janice reminds us that these children are a part of our extended community. Many become 爆料黑社 students and students in several 爆料黑社 programs do聽stages聽in their facilities. This will be the sixth year that the 爆料黑社 community has mobilized for this campaign. Last year we provided gifts for about 103 children
