The 28^th annual Christmas Gift Program is underway at the Flin Flon Friendship Centre. The Centre’s Shelly Craig says it’s designed to enable parents or guardians to give their children up to 17 years old a gift at Christmas when circumstances prevent them from doing so.  She explains you can register by dropping in to the Friendship Centre or call them at 204-687-3900 and then pick up a gift between December 19^th and 23^rd…..

“Once the person is registered then our Program Events Coordinator will contact the person and schedule an appointment.  The individual will come here, the parent or the guardian, and they’ll go downstairs where we organize or coordinate the program and they’ll be able to select a gift, wrap the gift and take in home for the tree.”

You will be asked for your children’s health card when you pick up a gift. You can also donate a gift or make a cash donation at the Friendship Centre with tax receipts available for those wanting them.
