The teams would also distribute out five thousand Christmas toys to children drawn from less fortunate and single parent households. The club would donate the toys to religious places of worship across the county and they would share them out to children in their areas.
Among the other projects planned are donations to Orphanages, distribution of special Christmas packages to senior citizens and Christmas breakfast to five hundred senior citizens in the Lower Corentyne area.
Distribution of educational material, clothing and footwear would also be done in what Foster described as the largest Christmas programme ever organised by the club since it was started in 1990.
