One of the most satisfying tasks for Christmas Friends Inc. will occur Saturday, Dec. 18, when gifts for needy children and senior adults are delivered to homes throughout Middlesex County.
Thanks to the many donors who have contributed funds, and the diligent team of volunteer shoppers and wrappers for 2021, approximately 259 gift bags are ready to go.
Beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, 13 vans and trucks will load up and depart from the spacious bays at the Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department in Urbanna, traveling from one end of the county to the other to deliver the gifts. One of the vehicles is a covered trailer carrying bicycles and a few other gifts too large to fit in the bags.
