Christmas Amalgamated short on donations and volunteers
KAMLOOPS — A local non-profit that has provided Christmas gifts and hampers to families in need for 40 years is struggling for donations and volunteers this year.
Christmas Amalgamated opened its doors to those who can’t afford Christmas gifts shortly after Remembrance Day, but the charitable organization has seen fewer donations this year, and there is higher demand.
Coordinator Sally Whitson says volunteers are also in short supply.
