Christmas should be a special celebration for everyone. But not everyone can afford to feed their family. If you can help, there’s never been a better time of year to give.

Every December the Information Morning family joins in the spirit of the season and we help our neighbours. And this year we're calling on your generosity again. Our Annual Feed a Family runs Dec 3 - 21. With 2,281 families in need this holiday season throughout the Saint John River Valley (District 3 Food Banks), the need is greater than ever.

Thousands of families in our listening area are hoping that you will help them share the magic of the season.

It's been a tough year for many people...some have lost jobs..some have lost hope.

Information Morning wants to give them all the happiness of a traditional Christmas dinner...so that every family gets to enjoy the time of the year when everyone gets together, and puts what matters most ...first in their lives.

You can help with your donations...please give to our Feed a Family campaign. We're only asking that you give what you can.

Thank you the the Sr. Management Team at NB Power for your generous donation of $1,000.00 to the Feed a Family Campaign...in recognition of Debbie Roherty's tireless efforts to help feed families in need.

(So many people in this community and in the greater region have been inspired by your show and the people you have interviewed over the last few weeks. It has reminded all of us of the tremendous responsibility we have to the people around us and to look beyond ourselves to see what is required to make our own communities better.

Of course, as colleagues and co-workers of Debbie Roherty - yes, the famous Pie Lady - we have a tremendous living example of self-sacrifice and kindness right in our midst here at NB Power every day.

She alone reminds of us the huge impact that just one person can have on their community; of what it means to truly care for other people; and that we shouldn't shy away from a little discomfort - such as getting up in the middle of the night to make the pies - to put our best foot forward.

To recognize Debbie's ongoing contribution and selfless approach to her community and the people in it, we've come together as individuals to offer this donation of $1000 to the Feed a Family campaign in her honour. We are proud of her and proud to say we work alongside her.

Congratulations with your success to date, thank you for making Fredericton a better place this Christmas, and good luck in the days ahead.

An Anonymous Donor...and very nice RAK! Thank you for your generous donation of $1300.00 to the Feed a Family Campaign!

Terry, having just seen on the CBC website an item about various responses to Ann Curry's "#26 acts of kindness" to honour the children and teachers of the Newtown school shootings, I just rang the Feed a Family phone number and donated $1300, enough to feed 26 families on your list. I usually donate $500 or so to your campaign, but this morning the "#26 acts of kindness" idea inspired me to want to do more this time.

Thanks to Dr. Rowen McLellan for your generous donation of $1000.00 to our Feed a Family Campaign!
