IMPACT Rotary members stepped up to help load up “Elves” cars with frozen turkeys or fish and all the fixings for a Holiday feast as part of Holiday Hamper.  About The Program | Holiday Hamper Edmonton.
 

The Holiday Hamper Program brings joy to Edmonton families who need it most. Community members joined together as Holiday Hamper Elves, adopting local families and shopping for their festive meals. Using a defined grocery list, they fill hampers with holiday essentials, while we provide turkeys and fresh fixings. It all comes together on Delivery Day, when Elves deliver joy right to families' doors.

This year 2200 families were given a brighter festive season with the hampers provided. The day of hamper distribution – Saturday December  20, IMPACT members Wayne McCutcheon, Pepe Villareal, Len Chanasyk, Marilyn Mucha and friend Danny Maradyn braved the cold for the 4 hours outside the EXPO center along with 300 + other volunteers to load up the cars streaming through the 4 lanes of 10 stations each to efficiently load cars to be delivered to the needy families.

This was a very satisfying service project that made everyone smile.
