The Airdrie Lioness Club kicked off their 2018 Christmas Hamper program in a big way thanks to the generosity from a local business.

On Thursday (November 1st) Airdrie Denture Clinic presented a cheque for $3000 to the Lioness Club to help with the hampers this year.

The Lioness are hoping to improve on last year's total where they handed out 367 hampers to local families in need.

Donations for this year's hampers will be accepted until December 13th.

The Lioness will also be holding a City Wide Food Drive on November 17th.
