The Catholic Women's League is once again heading up the Adopt-a-Family program in Dauphin.
The program sees individuals, families, or businesses and groups sponsor a family in the form of purchasing a grocery list of items for the family, as well as a toy for each child in that family.
Program co-ordinator Laverne Hudson admits they are a little behind where they would like to be
"Things have been a little tight for everyone and I understand that. I am hoping to at least come up to the same amount, which is I adopted 144 families last year. Right now I am at 111."
Anyone interested in adopting a family can call Hudson before December 16th at 204-572-4677 or by emailing adoptafamilyThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Adopt-a-family packages need to then be dropped off at the Friendship Centre by December 17th, so that they can be distributed to the family on the 18th.
Hudson says they are also looking for younger people who are interested in helping hand out the hampers or assist with intakes.
Hudson adds they want to send out a special thank you to everyone that has stepped forward so far this year, and in year's past.
