Dear Valued Community Members,
I hope this letter finds you well. As we begin to think about the holiday season, we at the Cornwall Children’s Christmas Fund are reaching out once more to our generous community. Your support can help us bring joy and warmth to the children of families in need in our area.
The Cornwall Children’s Christmas Fund has a long-standing tradition of ensuring that every child experiences the magic of Christmas. Our mission is to raise sufficient funds and gather goods in kind to provide these children with a festive meal and toys, bringing joy and hope that every child deserves during the holiday season.
Last year, thanks to the incredible support from individuals and businesses like yours, we were able to bring smiles to the faces of over 1,600 families. We are committed to meeting this challenge again with your help. However, rising costs are making it difficult to keep up with the increasing demands.
We kindly ask for your support. Donations can be made by e-transfer to: christmasfund1948@gmail.com or by sending a cheque for the "Children's Christmas Fund" to the Scotiabank, 960 Brookdale Avenue, Cornwall ON K6J4P5.
We are deeply grateful for any support you can provide. Together, we can make a significant difference in our community and ensure that every child has a memorable Christmas.
Thank you and warmest regards,
Melodie LeMoeligou
Chairperson — Children’s Christmas Fund
