Children’s gift campaign needs help

WITH DONATIONS from the com-
munity lagging behind what's norm-
ally contributed at this point in the
season year, organizers of a local
campaign have had issue an urgent
plea for support.

“We are just not getting the do-
nations this year that we normally
would have,” says Rosanne Pearce
of Terrace Anti-Poverty Group Soc-
iety.

The society and its corporate
partners run the Children’s Christmas
Campaign, a program that matches
donated gifts to the hundreds of local
children and teens who register each
year,

People whe would like ta contri-
bute can pick a gift tag from special
Christmas trees at Zellers, the Bar-
gain Shop, Saan and now Curves.
The tags contain the first name, age
and clothing size of a local needy
child, and sometimes a specific gift
request, Volunteers wrap and deliver
the gifts in time for Christmas.

“Our bank is a little bit broke.
Terrace Anti-Poverty ensures that all
the children get Christmas gifts. It
doesn’t matter how many apply.”

The society sent out letters so-
liciting donations from local busi-
nesses, but donations are down.

“Businesses are really suffering.
Those who contributed last year are
not able to this year. It’s my hope
things will pick up for them, as
well.”

As of late November, 75 families
had signed up for the program. “I ex-
pect that to double if not triple in the
next few weeks.”

‘Last year, 500 children in 156
local families registered in the pro-

gram. Many families needing gifts ..:

are large, with up to five children.
“Last year, thanks to the com-
munity, we managed to be able to

“The kids are busy
people, so for them. to
commit to after school
stuff is tough,” she said.

The longer school day
that’s resulted from the
four-day school week has
been a bit of a challenge
to work around.

“We're going to want
every hour,” she says.

The frequency of re-
hearsals has been stepped

up in the past two weeks
leading up to opening
night. “We need to make
every moment count.”

All students involved in
the production are expec-

no matter how late rehear-
sals last week and this
