Our White Gift Service at Sunset is the first Sunday in December - December 6th. All gifts donated will be provided to the Rainbow Youth Centre for their Annual Christmas Party. This year, the most needed items are toques and mittens for adults. There is a list below of other items that would be well-received also. Since 1982, the Rainbow Youth Centre has been providing a place for Regina youth, 11 to 25 years, to grow and develop, providing a variety of individual and group counseling, skill development, educational, recreational, and direct service programs. As you know, one of the services that Rainbow provides is an evening meal, as part of their after-school program. For years, volunteers from Sunset United have helped the Chef prepare and serve supper. We also help out at Christmas time, by helping to prepare and serve the meal at the Annual Christmas Party. This year the party is on Wednesday December 16, 2015. We need approximately 15 volunteers for the Christmas Party. Two shifts are available, 4:00 - 6:00, or 5:00 to 7:00. Really, any time that you can spare to help out will be appreciated. Volunteers typically assist with the serving line, provide extra hands for carrying plates, serve beverages or desserts to the tables, or help with clean up. The Christmas Dinner draws big crowds of youth, parents, babies and grandparents, passersby and local celebrities. It is a warm, joyful event that draws us all into the spirit of that community in the very heart of Regina.
