The Angel Tree Program, which ensures children in the Adopt-a-Family Program get a gift each Christmas, is looking for donations of money/gifts, and volunteers to sit at the Angel Tree at the mall.
The Angel Tree and Adopt-A-Family programs work together with the food bank to form Dauphin's Community Christmas Program and there are 238 people registered this year according to Robin Gambler, Coordinator at the Dauphin Friendship Centre (DFC).
Volunteers are needed to sit at the Angel Tree inside the Dauphin Marketplace Mall to collect gifts in person. If any gifts come in, all you will have to do is phone the maintenance crew at the mall who will then collect the gifts and store them until they are picked up by the DFC. You can sign up at the mall or call the Friendship Centre at 204-638-5707.
If you would like to donate cash, gift cards, or unwrapped new toys, you can drop them off at the DFC during regular hours. They also accept donations via e-transfer to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
