To the editor:

The Brock Community Health Centre and the Durham Elder Abuse Network (DEAN) would like to thank all who donated to the Secret Santa for Seniors Program this year. We were able to well surpass our goal of 350 gift and provided gifts to over 811 well deserving seniors in Durham Region this holiday season.

In North Durham there were over 115 gifts provided.

We had tremendous support from our community this year, the spirit of giving is truly alive and well in Durham Region.

The program aims to give back to some  of our well deserving seniors in our community this holiday season to make their Christmas a little more special.
