For 36 years, Carmens Group and Hamilton Police Service have been hosting "It's A Kids Christmas". This event has been a cornerstone of generosity and joy in Hamilton, giving thousands of underprivileged children and their families a magical holiday experience. What makes this event so special is that every single hour volunteered and every single item served is donated. From the food, to the time and effort of over 60 HPS members, their families, and community supporters, our staff, it’s a true collective effort. What makes this event even more special is having my son’s hockey team join in to help. Instilling in our youth an understanding of what it means to give back is a powerful reminder of the true spirit of the season. #ItsAKidsChristmas #ProjectConcern #HamiltonProud #CommunitySpirit #Volunteering #GivingBack
