Santa’s volunteers are working harder than ever to bring Santa to town for the Maple Ridge Christmas Festival on Dec. 3.
But all of their efforts cannot go forward without the support of businesses and organizations within the community who make generous donations.
Through these difficult economic times, the volunteers for the Maple Ridge Christmas Festival Society are still struggling to get enough money to fulfill the minimum budget required to bring the joy of Christmas to Maple Ridge.
“We greatly appreciate any donations that can be made, and there is still time for you to make a difference,” said Natalie Freer, publicity coordinator for the event.
• If you would like to find out more about how you can show your support and make a donation, please contact us at sponsorshipcoordinator@mapleridgechristmas.ca.

• The Maple Ridge Christmas Festival planning committee is also looking for individuals who want to make a difference in their community and volunteer.
Whether you want to help with the planning, or just want to volunteer on the day of the event, community support is greatly appreciated.
This special day would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of volunteers.
The committee meets every Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Burnett Fellowship Baptist Church – 20639, 123rd St., Maple Ridge.
Please come out and join in the joy of planning a free family event in your community.
