Victoria Street businesses banding together to raise money for Christmas Cheer Fund
KAMLOOPS — As Kamloops residents head out to start of finish their holiday shopping, local businesses along Victoria Street are ensuring your purchases go the extra mile.
A two-day event is taking over the 200-block of Victoria Street on Friday (Dec. 6) and Saturday as local retailers have come to together to support Kamloops charities during the holiday season. Christmas Cheer hopes to raise $40,000.
“We are being really optimistic, but last year we raised $30,000, and so it’s our 40th anniversary so we’ll put that out there and if we hit it, we are super happy. Whatever people can afford to give we are grateful for,” said Wenda Noonan, Executive Director for the BC Interior Community Foundation.
