Salem Lutheran Church in Shaunavon is once again spearheading the collection and distribution of Christmas hampers in that community.

They are asking for donations of non-perishable food items at various drop off boxes located around the community.

Kim Anderson is the Chairperson of the Christmas Food Hamper Committee. She said, "So, people can call us at the church number 306-297-2525 in order to apply for a hamper. Then, we'll call them back just to get a bit of information from them, things like size of the household, that sort of thing."

You can also give a cash donation to the Food Hampers by contacting Salem Lutheran Church.

Anderson adds that they are also collecting toys and gifts for children. Contact the Church for details on that.

Deadline to sign up for a hamper is December 3rd.The Hampers will be delivered the morning of December 16.

This is the 12th year they have run the Christmas Hamper Campaign.

Anderson says last year they delivered a total of 64  hampers.
