On behalf of the Halifax & Region Military Family Resource Centre (H&R MFRC), we would like to extend our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thank you to the generous donors of our holiday Op Dasher program. The program supports families coping with additional stressors during the holiday season. Although the number of Canadian Armed Forces families accessing this service fluctuates from year to year, based on the feedback we heard from families, we know it made a significant difference for those who participated in the program:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Great program, very helpful for my family.” <\/span><\/i>\u2013 Program Recipient<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>We are very thankful for any and all assistance.\u201d<\/span><\/i> \u2013 Program Recipient<\/span><\/p>\n

As the H&R MFRC is a charity, Op Dasher is an initiative funded exclusively by donors. \u201cWe understand that the holiday season is an important time of year for many charities, and we truly appreciate donors who chose to support the H&R MFRC and their local military and Veteran family community,\u201d says Shelley Hopkins, executive director of the H&R MFRC.<\/span><\/p>\n

We would like to acknowledge donors who generously supported Op Dasher. In addition to receiving a number of personal donations from the community, we also received funds from the following:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
