Harrogate hospital charity seeks Christmas hamper donations
Last year the charity provided over 1,000 hampers to families and children in need. This year it aims to send out 1,200 hampers — and is appealing for donations.
Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity is asking for donations for its Christmas hamper campaign.
Last year the charity provided over 1,000 hampers to families and children in need in North Yorkshire, County Durham, Gateshead and Sunderland.
This year it hopes to spread even more festive cheer by sending 1,200 hampers.
It is asking businesses to donate non-perishable foods, drinks, new books or other festive goodies to fill up the hampers.
Yvonne Campbell, head of charity and business development project manager at the charity, said
“Last year we had wonderful feedback from those who received our festive hampers, and after another difficult year we would like to impart the same magical feeling to those who are vulnerable or in need across the Harrogate and District Foundation Trust footprint.
"Any support will make a huge impact to those in need this winter.”
