Help a child by helping the Christmas Bureau
HURON For over 40 years, the Christmas Bureau
has provided Christmas cheer for the children of our com-
munity whose families are unable to Santa their chil-
dren.
In 2007, almost 1,000 children had a Christmas made mer-
ry through the generosity of community members. Due to
the economic downturn, we expect those numbers to in-
crease in 2008.
The Huron County Christmas Bureau is a volunteer group
that organizes county -wide gift centres for disadvantaged
families. There are five host bureaus (in Clinton, Exeter,
Goderich, Seaforth and Wingham) located in churches. The
members of these (rotating) churches provide families in
their individual communities with toys, clothing, food and
food vouchers these gifts are all donated or purchased
with donated money.
Donors are everyone individuals, businesses, high
schools, clubs, neighbourhoods,
bridge clubs, sports teams, individ-
ual churches their hope is that
no child is left out at Christmas.
Recipients are anyone any
disadvantaged family with chil-
dren 16 or under may apply and
privately choose appropriate gifts
for their children.
Due to their focus on children, the
Huron -Perth Children s Aid Soci-
ety sponsors the Christmas Bureau
by providing office space in God-
erich for Bureau meetings, as well
as phones and administrative sup-
port. However, the Christmas Bu-
reaus themselves are independent
of the local CAS (or any denomina-
tion) and the families need not be
(but may be) supported by the local
CAS. This is a we -the -people or-
ganization.
How does this work? First,
there are two weeks of phone
lines (519-524-7356 x3271 or
1-800-265-5198) at Christmas Cen-
Tinker Tots tour
Christmas at home Kay
Rathwell (front) and Betty
Simmons (back) were at the
home of Alma (middle) and Tony
Dayman on Saturday during the
Hensall Tinker Tots Home Tour.
Also on the tour was the home
of Andrea Baker and Tim Neth-
ercott (below) as well as Bill
and JulieTowton and Sandy and
Roy Heyrink. (photos/Pat Bolen)
tral from Monday to Friday (Dec. 1 - 12) these phones
are open for calls from families requesting help or individ-
uals who wish to suggest a family in need this year. The
callers provide the ages and sizes of the children. This in-
formation is relayed to their area Christmas bureau.
The families are then contacted and given an appoint-
ment to choose their gifts. All information is confidential.
There is, of course, cross-checking with other agencies to
prevent double-dipping which would mean skimping
on children with no other resources.
That sounds simple however, that is because hundreds
of volunteers all across our county give the gift of their
time and efforts. Their efforts are immense at each bureau
sorting, organizing, distributing and maintaining drop
boxes only then the fun part : helping moms and dads
choose the perfect gifts.
How can you help? You can help by donating new toys
or clothing, or money for purchasing these items (all mone-
tary donations are eligible for tax receipts). You can help by
donating non-perishable food, or money for food vouchers.
You can help by organizing your work place or organiza-
tion to buy gifts for kids or donate socks, underwear or per-
sonal items for teens. In short, you can help by caring.
This year, the Christmas bureaus are:
• Christian Reformed Church, Exeter;
• St. Paul's Anglican Church, Clinton;
• St. George's Anglican Church, Goderich
• Northside United Church, Seaforth
• St. Paul's Anglican Church (and manse), assisted by the
Wingham Pentecostal Church, Wingham.
Deliver your gifts between Dec. 8 and 12 so they can be
sorted and ready for the Christmas shopping . Cheques
may be sent to the Goderich branch of the Children s Aid
Society, clearly marked Christmas Bureau.
