The holidays are fast approaching and can be a difficult time for those struggling with poverty, family conflict, and other problems.  We aspire to provide our clients and their families with a Christmas to remember.  We want to remind them that there are good times ahead and that people truly do care about them.

We will be hosting our Annual Family Christmas party for our clients and their families the first week of December.  Each year, we reach out into the community for the support necessary to accomplish this goal.  We host a family Christmas party with food, entertainment, activities, and a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus who distribute a present to all the children.  Last year, we had over 200 people attend from our various programs.  The party was a huge success due to the amount of support from the community

This year, as well as snacks and Santa, we hope to organize a carnival-type atmosphere with booths, prizes, games, and activities.  We are hoping that you will be able to support this endeavor through a donation of either gifts, prizes or a monetary donation that will be used to purchase items needed for the party, such as decorations and food.  Official receipts for monetary donations will be issued, if you so desire.

If you would like to make a donation please call 780-743-9721 or you can email me at  colleen.baker@mcman.ca.  I look forward to hearing from you and would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
