Help families by donating to the Christmas Bureau
EXETER — This Christmas you can do the right thing
by helping those who need it most.
A donation to the Christmas Bureau helps ensure
there is food in every household and gifts for every child
in Huron County.
As readers will notice, the Huron County Christmas
Bureau bag is included in this week's paper.
Printed on the bag are details of where each of the
county bureaus are and the times gifts and food can be
dropped off. Locally, the Exeter Christmas Bureau is at
Precious Blood Roman Catholic Church at 200 Sanders
St. W. The church will be open to receive gifts the week
of Dec. 5-9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Since 1967, churches and the Children's Aid Society
have worked together to make sure every family has
food and gifts. The churches in the county manage the
five Christmas Bureaus and distribute donations to fam-
ilies in the area.
In 2004, 1,087 children in Huron County were helped
through the Christmas Bureau program.
To receive assistance, families do not need a connec-
tion with the Children's Aid Society. Families must live
in Huron County and the person registering the children
must be the custodial parent. For many families, the
Huron County Christmas Bureau is their only contact
with the Children's Aid Society.
Appointments made by families needing assistance are
confidential.
Money donated to the bureau is used to buy food cer-
tificates and clothing. All items are bought from local
businesses.
Some ideas of gifts you can donate include: non-per-
ishable food, new underwear, socks, pyjamas, sweat-
shirts and pants, blue jeans and toys.
For more information, call 524-7356 or 1-800-265-
5198, ext. 3271.
