The Richmond Christmas Fund is hoping you’ll make room on your shopping list for a family you’ve never met, but for whom you could make a world of difference. Registration to sponsor a family closes Nov. 29.
To receive a sponsorship, a family must first register with the Christmas Fund. This year, Christmas Fund registration takes place from Nov. 30 to Dec. 14. Sponsors can expect to be matched with families any time between those two dates. For more information on getting sponsored or becoming a sponsor, call 604-279-7035 or visit www.volunteerrichmond.ca.
