THE BATTLEFORDS — A red sleigh sits in front of the Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre Nov. 15, kicking off the holiday season.
The sleigh will travel throughout the community in the coming weeks to raise awareness for the local toy and food drives that sustain families in need through the winter months. Volunteers and residents are encouraged to support the annual Empty Stocking Fund, which has been helping families in need since 1953.
On the morning the sleigh arrived, the food bank assisted 44 households, helping a total of 101 people.
