​ACTIVITIES AT ZION

1.  CHRISTMAS CHEER PARTICIPATION

And once again we will be a Christmas Cheer Depot Wednesday, December 13, 2023.  Volunteers are needed to assist with the Christmas Cheer depot here at Zion on. Each year we service approximately 50-70 families in our downtown neighbourhood which assists in the celebration of Christmas with their families. Your assistance is required mainly for receiving delivery and arranging boxes/gifts as they arrive here and then distributing them once the recipients arrive for pickup. Generally the time span for this is approximately from 10 am to 2 pm at the very latest. Please sign the sheet that is posted on the bulletin board by the side entrance.
