Halo effect: Olds Christmas Angels once again hand out hampers, happiness

The Olds Christmas Angels Society is thanking everyone for another really great year.

Board member Claire Rosehill notes that they officially passed out a total of 125 hampers which included 285 kids and helped service 527 people in those families. She says “we had amazing donations this year. Really, really great toys, lots of primary items donated, great cash donations, awesome support for our teen program. So that was just amazing we were very, very thrilled at the support from the community.”

Rosehill referred to 2025 as pretty regular with “not too many and not an overwhelming number of hampers” but pretty much what they are used to.
