and gifts, coats, and warm winter clothing for children up to age 17 who reside in the Town of Vegreville and several other communities within the County of Minburn. Every year staff at the dental centre donate to the Vegreville Christmas Bureau. They always make sure to donate toothbrushes as stocking stuffers in addition to their other donations. “We are just one local business in the company of many in Vegreville who are proud to support our community. This has been a very tough year for all of us and that’s why we are doing things a bit different this year in hopes of spreading some cheer and happiness,” stated Jocelyn Mouyios. Joanne Veldkamp, Chairperson of the Vegreville Christmas Bureau, said they distributed 160 hampers in 2019, and she does not expect to see a decrease in the total number of hampers this year. On average, more than 50 volunteers help out in one way or another during the annual campaign. The deadline to donate toys, gifts, and warm clothing along with hamper applications is December 11. Financial donations are always welcome, said Veldkamp.
