Helpful elves assisted little shoppers at Santa’s Hut

Once again the Crisis Centre did a wonderful job of setting up Santa’s Hut for young shoppers. The Kindersley Mall was a busy place for three hours on Thursday afternoon, December 14th when kids lined up, waiting their turn to purchase gifts for their family. Misty Leismeister from the Crisis Centre had recruited a group of Santa’s helpers to assist the kids as they browsed through the tables of merchandise available.

There was a good selection of gift items for men, women and kids. And thanks to monetary donations, Misty was able to purchase additional items that were needed.

Kids in the community look forward to Santa’s Hut at Christmas, and it’s made possible because of the generous donations from people in the community. The staff and volunteers at the Crisis Centre take time out of their busy schedules to organize and make this event happen, which is so appreciated.
