Times Advocate, 1991-11-20, Page 31Huron County Christmas Bureau exists through your generosity "Without the help of the Huron County Christmas Bureau, my two year old son would not have known a Christmas. Now i am in a posi- tion to give to someone else." A former recipient of the Huron County Christmas Bureau GODERICH - r The Huron County Christ- mas Bureau has been sponsored by the Children's Aid Society of Huron County for thirty years. It exists through the generosity of the people and businesses of Huron County. In 1990, this community service provided help to 384 families and 835 children in Huron County. It is a private and confidential service designed to preserve the dignity of less fortunate members of our community. Families requir- ing assistance are referred by many agencies, professionals and individ- uals throughout the county. The Christmas Bureau operates in a network of churches in five county towns: Seaforth, Exeter, Goderich, Clinton and Wingham. It provides a location for individuals to make donations of money, new clothing and toys and canned goods for Bureau clients. After the donations are received families are given a confidential ap- pointment with the Bureau in their area and are assisted in selecting toys, items of clothing and mittens for the children. They are also giv- en canned goods and financial help for Christmas dinner, if required. Financial contributions can be made at any time to the Children's Aid Society of Huron County, 46 Centralia byMaryKooy • By Mary Kooy CENTRALIA - Fred Bowden and his wife Aurelia were recent guests of their family for dinner at Heywood's restaurant to celebrate their 62nd wedding anniversary.

In this time of recession and hardship in Huron County, it is their hope that individuals will sup- port this "necessary and deeply ap- preciated endeavour." The volunteers who give of them- selves and their time in order to or- ganize this project tell of the re- wards in knowing they have contributed to ensuring a special and happy Christmas for others. This year in Exeter the Christmas Bureau will once again be operated from Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church under the supervision of Jan Ingram.
