Year 38 for the Lanark Leeds and Grenville Family and Children’s Services – OPP Angel Tree program continues.
The OPP’s Joe Tereschuk says it sees the public pick tags with genders and ages of kids in need written on them off Christmas trees at locations across Lanark County. They then buy that child a present.
For some of the kids, it’s the only present they get.
The Lanark County municipal offices of Tay Valley, Lanark Highlands, Drummond-North Elmsley, Montague, Beckwith, Town of Mississippi Mills and the Pakenham Library have been with the program since the beginning and are participating once again. You can pick up a tag at any of those locations.
You can also get tags in Perth at Albany, Eaton, Lanark County Administration, Wilson Street Auto Fleet & Tire, Spring Children, Perth Hospital, Perth Athletic Center, Lanark Dance Company, Perth Town Hall and Uniglass Plus.
In Carleton Place the community partners are Kirk Orthodontics, Walmart, Connect Well, Ricks Glass Medic and Tinting, The Studio School of Dance and Heritage Dental.
The OPP says these community partners broaden the dispersal of angels within their workspaces and are a great assistance to our program.
