COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS HAMPER CAMPAIGN: Kildare Christmas Market raises funds for Hamper Campaign
Submitted by Diane Kameen, Community Christmas Hamper Campaign organizing committee
Thanks to the participation of many kind and generous people, the Kildare Christmas Market held Nov. 4 at Saint Brigid’s Home raised $1,300 for the Quebec Community Christmas Hamper Campaign, with the tally sure to grow after the second edition held Dec. 5 (total unavailable at press time).
Sales of honey, jewelry, Guild clothing, blankets, recipes, decorations and much more proved very popular. The mar- ket was also a wonderful oppor- tunity for residents and their loved ones to socialize. This is one of the many fundraisers taking place in the community to support the campaign.
