Message from the General Manager
The holiday season is here—a time to celebrate, reflect, and support those in need.
This December, the LCRA is proud to partner with the Calgary Firefighters Toy Association and the Calgary Food Bank for our annual Holiday Donation Drive.
We will be collecting non-perishable food items and new, unwrapped toys (please no plush toys) at the Lake Chaparral office throughout the month. The Food Bank is especially in need of canned goods, pasta, rice, baby formula, and hygiene products—items that help local families during the colder months when demand is at its highest.
For the Toy Drive, gifts for children ages 0 to 3 and 9 to 12 are particularly appreciated, as these age groups often receive fewer donations.
If you prefer to contribute financially, both organizations welcome cash donations, which go directly toward providing food, toys, and essential supplies for families in need.
Every contribution makes a meaningful difference.
From all of us at the LCRA, thank you for helping us share warmth, generosity, and holiday spirit throughout our community. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and safe holiday season!
Take care,
Laura Bruch
