Community Christmas Projects
What better way to get into the holiday spirit, than spreading goodwill and holiday cheer! Paramedics, Fire Fighters and Police need your help to make this holiday extra special.
| Christmas with Seniors |
|
The Brant/Brantford Paramedics are celebrating their second year of sharing Christmas with Seniors. Sharing the Christmas spirit with Seniors, who do not have many visitors, is definitely a way to spread holiday cheer. This year, Paramedics, with help from the community, will be buying gifts for and spending time with 50 Seniors.
Each Senior is asked what they would like for Christmas. The Paramedics post the lists on social media and invite members of the community to choose a Senior to sponsor. The gifts total approximately $50.
On December 19, 2018, the Paramedics deliver the gifts to the nursing home residents and of course, there is always time for fellowship, friendship, hot chocolate, Christmas treats and music.
The Paramedics look forward to volunteering their time to this new holiday tradition.

| Parkas from Paramedics |

For the second year, the Brant/Brantford Paramedics wish to collect and donate parkas for the community and they need your help!
“Last year was a huge success,” said Randy Papple, Deputy Chief of the Brant/Brantford Paramedic Services and Parkas from Paramedics Campaign Lead at the County of Brant. “This year, we would like to partner with Freedom House.”
The Kindness Centre is an initiative of The Kindness Project; the outreach ministry of Freedom House.
“For many years, The Kindness Centre has been providing food, clothing, supplies and a generous serving of hope to many families in the Brant and Brantford area,” said Dave Caroll from Freedom House. “We are thrilled to have the Paramedics helping the community this year.”
Paramedics will be collecting parkas, socks, hats and gloves this year to help keep the community warm during the chilly winter.
“We need everyone’s help,” said Papple. “We truly appreciate the community’s spirit of coming together.”
