Annual Holiday Hamper Fundraiser
This year JVH held a fundraiser from Monday to Friday, December 5th to the 16th. Senior students scheduled themselves for 60-minute shifts outside the Front Street Market. Thirty-eight shifts (!!) of dedicated students volunteered during their busy school day and made up the work they missed from class, raising in excess of $3800!
For the past twenty years, JVH has been holding the Annual Holiday Hamper Fundraiser to collect money and grocery items, which are used to create at least 60 Christmas Hampers. These hampers go out to families and individuals in need in our area, from Howser to Ainsworth. Last year the community generously donated $3,600!
The JVH Annual Holiday Hamper Fundraiser is held in conjunction with North Kootenay Lake Community Services Society (NKLCSS), and with the generosity of the Front Street Market. Charitable donation receipts were available at student donation tables, and donations could also be made online through the NKLCSS website.
