27112023 Brandon Mayor Jeff Fawcett packs a Christmas hamper at The Brandon-Westman Christmas Cheer Registry in downtown Brandon on Monday afternoon. The Brandon-Westman Christmas Cheer Registry invited Mayor Fawcett as part of their kickoff for their first day of hamper prep. This year the registry had requests for 1500 hampers but only has the space to fulfil 1100 hamper requests so the registry is urging Brandonites to Adopt A Family so they can fulfil the additional hamper requests. Information on the Adopt A Family program can be found on The Brandon-Westman Christmas Cheer Registry website. Hampers will be delivered on December 13th and 14th and the registry is asking for volunteers to help with deliveries. (Tim Smith/The Brandon Sun)
