Care-N-Share looking for your help for Christmas

4 November 2014

Thirty-two years ago, Care-N-Share was started to help the children of Bonners Ferry at Christmas time. The Program has grown to not only help children at Christmas, but throughout the year. Care-N-Share gives toys and clothing to children, and everything stays in our town. Linda Lederhos, Care-N-Share program director, says the longevity of the program is due to the dedicated board members Sharon, Angie Schnuerle, and Ann Tompkins, along with Linda's family and all the other helpers. Linda is projecting, with the current economic downturn, this year the need will be just as much as years before. Care-N-Share applications will be available at the Panhandle Health Clinic, and at the Bamboo Room Craft Store north of Bonners Ferry. If you are in need or know someone who is, please feel free to call or stop by and pick up an application. They are due by November 28. If you can help out by sponsoring a family or a child, please call Linda Lederhos at 290-1483. If you want to make a donation you can mail your donation to Care-N-Share, 515014 Highway 95, Bonners Ferry, Idaho 83805, or drop it off at Wells Fargo Bank. The Care-N-Share program is also in need of new and good used toys. They can be dropped off at Wells Fargo Bank or at Mountain West Bank.
