Raffle Proceeds Help Over The Christmas Season

A raffle for City staff (City Hall, City Complex, Sportsplex, Yara Centre and Fire Department) featuring prizes donated by local merchants has raised over $2,000 to assist local charities at Christmas.

Proceeds from the December raffle sponsored two families over Christmas through the Salvation Army’s Adopt A Family Program.

The Adopt A Family Program allows individuals or groups to provide gifts and a meal to a less fortunate family at Christmas.

In addition to helping two families have a Christmas they could not afford the raffle also allowed cash donations to local non-profit and charitable organizations to help meet their needs in what has been a tough year for many local charities and non-profit organizations.

The organizations are:

Transition House

- Riverside Mission

- SCRAPS

- Moose Jaw Families For Change

- Humane Society

- Hunger In Moose Jaw
