Getting ready for Christmas is a busy time for everyone but help is on the way for gift wrapping.
Share Family and Community Services has opened its Gift Wrap Booth and Share tree from now until Dec. 24, located between The Gap and Aritzia, on the upper level of Coquitlam Centre.
Share volunteers will wrap gifts in exchange for a donation that will go toward Share's programs and services. Meanwhile, those who wish to help needy children to have a merry Christmas can drop off gifts at the Share tree. Last year, over 2,200 children received a gift through the Share Toy Bank.
This year, there is an urgent need for gifts for infants (board books, soft toys etc.), tweens (ages nine to 12 years) and teens.
"The gifts for children that we generously receive from the public through the gift wrap booth and Share Tree this Christmas will ensure happy memories for those who may not have had these this holiday season," says Heather Scott, Share's director of development.
