​Ripley Lions in charge of Christmas Hamper Program again this year

Once again, this year, the Ripley Lions Club is pleased to assist those in Ripley and area who need some extra help at Christmas.

Individuals or families may be referred through schools, community service agencies, health care agencies or churches. Referrals must be received by Nov. 28, and the delivery date for gifts will be Dec. 5.

Each individual/family will receive a gift card for groceries. Families with children under the age of 18 will also receive gift cards to purchase gifts for their children.

The Christmas Hamper Program is funded through the generous donations of individuals, service groups, churches, and businesses in the community.

The Lions welcome donations of cash or gift cards. Cheques can be made out to the Ripley and District Lions, and sent to: Ripley Lions Hampers, 119 Hemlock Street, Kincardine, Ontario, N2Z 2X3. E-transfers may be sent to ripleylionshampers@gmail.com.

If you have questions about donations or the hamper program, contact John at 519-955-9884.

Thank you for making this a happier Christmas for individuals and families in the community.
