Thank you, to all our Beaver Valley donors, community partners, and volunteers with your help we have been able to make Christmas a little more special for 89 households and 2 local groups.
We would like to give a special thanks to South Columbia SAR for assisting with the packing out of the children’s gifts and making some very special deliveries, and to Atco Lumber for your continued support in moving the heavy items and ReMax All Pro Realty and your team of Christmas elves for their generous donation to our toy drive.
