On Wednesday, December 13, CHATS – Community & Home Assistance to Seniors launched 12 Days of Holiday Giving, a campaign aimed at raising funds to provide programs and services for seniors in need.

The 12 Days of Holiday Giving initiative is a collaborative effort between Richmond Hill Mayor West’s office and CHATS, an organization dedicated to providing supports to enable seniors to live in their own homes and communities.

On December 16^th, CHATS invited shoppers to visit the wrapping centre, where Mayor West, his wife Michelle, and CHATS CEO Christina Bisanz were there to personally wrap gifts from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

We reached our goal of 12 days, 100 volunteers, 1000 gifts wrapped. The funds raised will support our Caregiver Programs.

“The holiday season is a time for giving, and what better way to celebrate than by coming together as a community to raise funds in support of seniors in our community, “says Mayor West. “CHATS’ 12 Days of Holiday Giving is an opportunity for us to make a positive impact on the lives of those who may be facing challenges during this festive season. I am grateful for the support of our community volunteers and the partnership with CHATS to make this initiative possible.”

CHATS would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all the volunteers and customers for your incredible support during our first ever  “12 Days of Holiday Giving at Hillcrest Mall”.
