Clifford Food Bank Christmas hampers underway

CLIFFORD – Chairman Bruce Shannon said the Clifford Food Bank is already preparing its Christmas hampers for this year’s distribution.

He added the food bank isn’t asking for anything specific for the hampers this year – all donations are welcome.

The deadline to register for a Christmas hamper is Dec. 11 and pickup is scheduled for Dec. 21. People who have registered for a hamper will be contacted with a time for pickup. Hampers can be picked up at the Knox United Church in Clifford.

Shannon said the Christmas hampers will include the traditional items for a Christmas meal – turkey/ham, potatoes, vegetables – in addition to regular food items to be used in the days following.

People looking to register for the Christmas hampers or make a donation can contact the food bank at 519-327-8588.
