Organizers of the annual Share the Spirit campaign in Yukon say donations are at an all time high this year.
Lead organizer Nicholas O Carroll said 453 families are receiving Christmas hampers more than 100 over last year s total.
Those families include 933 children receiving gifts, over 200 more than last year, said O Carroll.
Volunteers are now in the midst of delivering those hampers in Whitehorse and 10 other communities across the territory. That s also an all-time high, he said.
