Alypne Apparel, like many other service groups, individuals and businesses, step up throughout the holiday season, to help others to brighten their Christmas. For the fifth year, they are doing their annual Secret Santa for local Seniors, and this marks the fourth year of their Making Spirits Bright Toy Drive for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.
To participate in this, visit Alpyne Apparel and choose a senior’s wish list from the tree and purchase items from the list.
Return the wrapped and labeled gift to help brighten a senior’s Christmas. This Secret Santa for Seniors, which includes the Martensville, Warman, Rosthern and Saskatoon area, has around 25 tags left to grab so hurry in and get yours! Alpyne Apparel encourages people to support their local businesses, and to also include Christmas crafts from kids, letters, cards or anything that you can think of to put a smile on their faces. Completed gifts need to be returned by Monday, December 16th.
There are also toy bins available at Alpyne Apparel, with donations going to children in the hospital in Saskatoon over the holiday season. Tags can be chosen from the tree, which include information about acceptable gifts due to guidelines within the Children’s Hospital regarding infection control and safety. These tags are also going fast and there are around 30 left to grab! Gifts can be returned – unwrapped and placed within the available bins by December 16th. Gifts will be pre-arranged with staff at the Children’s Hospital and delivered in time for Christmas, wrapped by either staff or the children’s parents.
“Thanks to our amazing community, our Giving Tree is always a huge success, and we’re excited for another year,” Courtney Flath of Alpyne Apparel, stated.
Alpyne Apparel is open Saturdays from 12pm-5pm, and Monday to Friday 10am-6pm. It is located at 800 Centennial Drive North in Martensville.
