Christmas basket program looking for donations

For three decades, a local program has worked to ensure that every family has food on the table and gifts under the tree during the holidays.

The Sundance Community Christmas Basket program will again be seeking donations from the community this year to help provide warm clothing for kids, gifts for Christmas, food for the season and necessities for local seniors.

If you would like to support the program, you can drop off monetary donations to Sundance State Bank made out to “Sundance Community Christmas Baskets”.

A boot tree will also be available after Thanksgiving at Sundance Hardware, through which you can select a deserving recipient and purchase them a Christmas gift.

If you would like to apply to be a beneficiary of the program, you can pick up an application at the Department of Family Services or either of the Sundance schools. The deadline to do so is November 22.

More information about this program can be obtained from Trudy Durfee at 290-0270 or Jamie Jessen at 605-431-6370.
