The staff of the Black River Good Neighbor Services wants everyone to know that they are accepting applications for the 2011 Christmas Basket program.
Director Audrey Bridge and Terry Laskevich, are eager to see that no person or family goes without food and no child goes without a gift to unwrap over the holidays.
Peter LaBelle, President of the Board for BRGNS said “over 145 area families received baskets last year and we believe because of Hurricane Irene and the recession the number will be even greater this year”.
Anyone living in Ludlow, Proctorsville, Cavendish, Mount Holly, Belmont or Plymouth who feels they qualify need only to stop by the shop at 37B Main Street, Ludlow, to pick up an application. Anyone unable to get to the store please call Audrey Bridge at 228-3663 for assistance.
Completed applications must be submitted by November 25th, 2011. Baskets will be delivered on Thursday, December 22nd.
Families that received a basket last year will receive a phone call from a BRGNS volunteer and do not need to make a new application this yea. However anyone who has had a change of address and/or phone number should contact the office.
