Collection for needy nets $i50 in food gifts
Seaforth's first-ever collection of goods
for the needy, held in conjunction with the
Santa Claus parade, was according to its
organizers, a success.
S.
Dave Staffer reports approximately $750
worth of canned food items were collected
along the parade route, as well as rive bags
of clothing. The City of London, in a similar
project earlier this Christmas season, col-
lected $9;800 worth of food items from its
parade. In comparison, Mr. Stiffen feels
Seaforth did really well.
"We were really pleased with the
response from the public," he said.
"We bad asked people to bring one or two
items to the parade, and they were bringing
bags of groceries."
Mr. Stiffen noted he was also pleased with
the response of corporate sponsors of the
event - in particular, Vincent's Farm Equip-
ment Ltd., who donated the trailers used to
collect the goods; Staffen's Lawncare, who
donated the tractors; and Pepsi and Coke,
who donated food items. All items collected
will be given to the tocal branch of the Huron
County Christmas Bureau for distribution to
needy families in the Seaforth area.
Anyone still wishing to make a donation
can do so at Mac's Milk, Bob's Barber Shop,
or the Seaforth Meat Market. The iast day to
do so is December 13.
Mr. Steffen hopes to run the collection
again next year, and would like to offer a
challenge to other surrounding communities
to do the same.
"I'd like to challenge them to meet or ex-
ceed what Seaforth did," he said.
"Because ultimately, everyone benefits."
