Operation Scugog helps the less fortunate PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 27, 1987 -- 13 Help now, not only just before Christmas For the past 14 years, Operation Scugog has been working quietly to help brighten Christmas for the less fortunate in the community. The organization co-ordinates the collection and distribution of Christmas food hampers and gifts in the Township. The demand for this service has gone up steadily since it began 14 years ago, and in 1987, more than 140 families will receive hampers and gifts. The organization receives con- siderable support from the com- munity in the form of cash dona- tions, gifts and food hampers, and committee member Barb Carnegie told the Star last week that the organization greatly appreciates this support. However, she said, if there are people thinking of helping out this Christmas, the time to get in touch with Operation Scugog is now, not mid-December. Monte Carlo HAIR FASHION 11 Water Street - Port Perry 985-3684 Operation Scugog is now in the process of planning and preparing for its work this Christmas, and it would help in the planning process if people make their commitments 'of help now.
