The Gift brings much needed donations across Chatham-Kent WHEATLEY — Volunteers were out in full force on Saturday, November 21 to help with ‘The Gift’, a special collection of gifts and donations across Chatham-Kent. The Gift was fashioned much the same as this past summer’s May 16 Miracle, in that volunteers would go doorstep-to-doorstep and collect donations from every residence across the region who could afford to do so.
In Wheatley, volunteers filled the streets and then filled the gymnasium at the Wheatley Baptist Church. The main organizer of The Gift was Brent Wilken, who was also involved in the planning and execution of the May 16 Miracle. The donations of food and toys will be organized for distribution through the various involved groups that run Christmas campaigns.
Dougie and Everly Howe wait patiently for their gift to be picked up.
