It's still September. The sun is shining. The AC is on in the office. But, those of us who live in the Maritimes know that soon the temperature will start to drop and it won't be long before we break out the scarves and other items of winter wear.
With that in mind, we start making ready for this year's Santa Under The Bridge project. Our volunteers have been knitting all year and they have created some beautiful scarves, hats, headbands and wristbands. Also included with the ladies gift bags will be an item of jewelry. Every bag gets a few personal care items, a Christmas card and hopefully some candy canes. Our volunteers will dress up in Santa outfits when we make our deliveries, usually during the first week of December
