cold temperatures couldn’t freeze the cariboo spirit of giving

December 9, 2016

The two-day Cariboo Community Christmas Charity Drive hosted by the Goat and Cariboo Country at the Save on Foods locations in Williams Lake and Quesnel wrapped up yesterday afternoon.

After the counting was done a total of cash and non-perishable food items donated in Williams Lake to the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre came out to $1,053.

In Quesnel the total raised for the Quesnel Child Development Centre added up to $1,800 in cash, non-perishable food items, and unwrapped gifts.

All donations will now go into making hampers for those who are finding it difficult this holiday season.
