    Father Stephen Allen, Don Wright and Ken Zakem created Santa’s Angels to distribute care packages, food hampers and toys to families in need. Throughout the year, the organization raises funds and donations, and then, on Christmas morning, volunteers visit hundreds of homes and care facilities across the province to spread cheer and gifts. Their spirit of sharing and giving resonates throughout the community at a special time of year.
