Care-N-Share 2013 underway

November 11, 2013 |
Linda Lederhos has long been the driving force
in marshaling the community's generosity to
ensure that no child in Boundary County goes
without at Christmas, and this year, her 31st,
the need is as great as ever.
Contributions of cash and new or gently used
clothes, toys and books will help ensure that
every child has a present under the Christmas
tree this year, no matter how dire their
family's situation.
Over the years, Linda has had some harrowing
moments, worrying that the need in the community
won't be fulfilled, but someway, somehow, the
community's generosity has never failed to come
through, but this year, she said, the need is
likely to be the highest thus far.
Cash donations can be mailed any time of the
year to Care-N-Share, 515014 Highway 95, Bonners
Ferry, ID 83805, or dropped off, along with
donated Christmas presents, at the Bamboo Room
Craft Store at the same address, located north
of Three Mile.
After Thanksgiving, gifts can be dropped off at
any local bank or beneath the Christmas tree at
the Boundary County Courthouse.
Those in need can pick up applications at
Panhandle Health, 7402 Caribou Street across
from Boundary Community Hospital, or at the
Bamboo Room. Applications are due by November
28.
You don't have to be a parent or guardian to
make application, either. If you know of a
family going through tough times, you can make
application on their behalf.
It's the next best thing to being Santa Claus!
To find out more, call Linda at (208) 290-1483. |
