nta fund needs help

Used clothing and _ fur-
niture, toys in goood condi-
tion, non-perishable food
items for hampers and cash
donations are needed by the
West Vancouver Santa Claus
Fund to make Christmas a
lite brighter for 100 or
more needy West Van
families.

Now in its 48th year, the
fund depends entirely upon
the genorosity of individual
citizens, service organiza-
tions, churches, schools and
businesses to carry out its
annual role in the communi-
ty.

It receives no financial
support from any level of
government. But the fund

does receive help from the
municipality in the form of
space for the storage and
coordination of material
donations at West Van's No.
1 Fire Hall, 16th and Fulton.

The _ firefighters give
valuable assistance’ by
repairing and _ refurbishing
toys, and with deliveries of
food hampers.

Gifts of food, toys and
clothing are deeply ap-
preciated by recipients and
should be brought to the Fire
Hall, between 9:30 am and
4:30 pm.

Cash donations payable to
the West Van Santa Claus
Fund are also needed and
tax-deductible receipts are

issued. Cheques or money
orders may be mailed to
P.O. Box 91114, West Van-
couver or paid in person at
the Royal Bank, 17th and
Marine (next to Safeway).

Ruth Stout, the fund's un-
paid executive officer,
stresses the absence of any
administration expenses.

All work is carried out by
volunteers and 100 cents out
of every dollar received is
used exclusively for the pur-

chase of food for the
hampers.
For further information

Mrs. Stout can be contacted
during the day at the Fire
Hall (922-6522) or otherwise
at her home (922-4537).
