A charitable outreach organization serving families in need from Armstrong to Kelowna is in desperate need of sponsors for the 2022 Christmas season.

All Are Family Outreach founder Clary Lausnes says as of now, the Project Christmas Elf initiative won91裸聊视频檛 be happening this year, which means more families in need will be turning to their society for help.

91裸聊视频淲e are expecting to be swamped, and we struggle every year with not having enough sponsors,91裸聊视频� Lausnes told The Morning Star.

Lausnes91裸聊视频� group of volunteers helps the community during the Christmas season by pairing families in need with sponsors who are willing to donate in the form of Christmas gifts and food hampers.

The families anonymously submit a wish list of gifts and the sponsors turn their wishes into reality.

For a society that Lausnes says is unaccustomed to turning people away, this Christmas season is shaping up to be a tall order.

91裸聊视频淥ne lady that91裸聊视频檚 called me, she91裸聊视频檚 crying on the phone, she is desperate,91裸聊视频� Lausnes said. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e seeing a lot more fear and desperation than we did last year. People are paring down their hopes for Christmas.91裸聊视频�

The demand for All Are Family Outreach91裸聊视频檚 services is high this year. The society opened its applications for sponsorship on Tuesday, and within five minutes they received 10 applications.

91裸聊视频淥ur worst nightmare is to take somebody in and say 91裸聊视频榦h yes we91裸聊视频檒l find you a sponsor91裸聊视频� and then we don91裸聊视频檛 have a sponsor for them, and then a week before Christmas (they91裸聊视频檙e) now without a Christmas hamper,91裸聊视频� Lausnes said.

Those who wish to sign up as a sponsor can contact Lausnes via the All Are Family Outreach Facebook Page, by email at aafoutreach@hotmail.com, or by phone at 250-503-4983.

Those who can91裸聊视频檛 afford to sponsor a family but would still like to help out can donate a gift card for fuel or groceries.

91裸聊视频淲e do get last-minute families in and we are often scrambling to cover them. If we have gift cards stashed away we can just give them those, that will take a lot of stress off,91裸聊视频� Lausnes said.

Aside from the Christmas sponsorship initiative, the cupboards at All Are Family Outreach are running thin.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e out of mac and cheese,91裸聊视频� says Lausnes.

91裸聊视频淲hen you run out of mac and cheese or Mr. Noodle it91裸聊视频檚 time to really wonder what91裸聊视频檚 going on because those are the two staples that everybody always donates.91裸聊视频�
