We know it’s not yet Hallowe’en, but we’re counting down the days until we deliver our Christmas hampers! Hampers are a great way to wind up the year, as staff take time for a care visit with each delivery, which is a perfect opportunity to talk about the difficulties facing people at this time: expectations for the Christmas period; budgeting; other challenges and anxieties. This reflects our values of placing a high importance on relationship. Hampers are just one part of the individual care we offer to each of our clients, so it is especially fitting that we can provide a hamper that is specific to each family or individual. They typically include both the necessary basics and those extras that makes each one unique. If you, or a group you represent, are interested in providing a hamper for a client family this year – or would just like to find out more – please contact the ACET office. We can provide you with guidelines and some suggestions as to what to include. Hampers will need to be ready by the middle of December and we need both small ones, for individuals, and larger ones for families.
