Hello! At Balzac United Church, we have a Christmas tradition of providing a hamper of food and gifts for a family of 4 through the Airdrie Lioness Hamper Program. This year the need is greater than ever. However, this year, the Airdrie Lioness club will not be accepting food and gift items but instead are asking for gift card donations or money donation by Tuesday December 1st. Please consider supporting once again this worthwhile cause. If you are able to donate, please email airdrielioness@gmail.com and they will tell where and when you can drop off your donation. You can also phone 403-660-1569. For donation over $20.00, a charitable income tax receipt will be provided upon request.
Stay well. Stay connected.
Rev Rita
