I posted about this earlier and here is a follow up...we, the Victoria Songwriters Guild are having a Christmas social on Friday Dec. 15th at the orange Hall.
I have been in touch with the single Parent resource center and been given information on a local family in need of assistance who happens to be directly involved in the arts.
I am hoping that we can put together a Christmas hamper and am hoping that some musician types whether invloved with the guild or not will help out.

It is a single parent household with one 5 year old girl ( this struck me as I have a 5 year old daughter)

we are hoping for donations of non perishable food items, toys, stocking stuffers and anything that can help out...gently used toys would be fine too....
The SPRC gave me some other great ideas such as the following.

rec center passes
thrifty foods or other gift certificates
movie passes
any gift certificate
museum passes
books
arts and crafts supplies
and maybe something nice for mom like some bath stuff.

If anyone is willing to help this cause please get in touch with me at [email protected] or come by the Orange Hall Fri Dec 15th 7-11 pm.

much appreciated.

Hey Laprider
Don't know if you're still interested, but I have a couple of brand new toys and some food to donate. If you're all set for this family, does anyone else know of a worthy family or charity? - Tue, 12 Dec 2006 2:01pm
