VIDEO; Hamper Fund delivery day puts food on the table for area families in need this Christmas

Forty-ninth edition of the Knights of Columbus Christmas Hamper Drive completed

An army of volunteers worked like clockwork on Saturday, Dec. 17 to package up and deliver Christmas Hampers to families in the Campbell River area.

Delivery Day is the big moment for the Knights of Columbus Christmas Hamper Drive and this year the weather cooperated making delivery of the more than 1,000 hampers a relatively smooth affair. The huge community effort to fill the hampers got underway around Nov. 14 and becomes one of the Campbell River area’s biggest and longstanding charity efforts, operating for 49 years now.
