Dorrell Young Christmas Program
The Dorrell Young Christmas Program provides a gift to about 500 Bruce County children and teenagers every year.
The program relies solely on the support of generous individuals and organizations in our community. In partnership with our generous sponsors, we are proud to provide packages that align with “Something you want, something you need, something you wear, something you read.”
