Grade 5-6 students from Green Acres School pack bags of candy to go into Christmas hampers at the Brandon-Westman Christmas Cheer Registry at Rosser Avenue and Seventh Street on Tuesday afternoon. This year, 1,710 Brandon families registered for Christmas Cheer hampers, an increase from the 1,551 who registered last year. The registry is asking for close to 200 individuals or groups to adopt a family and provide them with a Christmas hamper that matches what the Registry provides. Anyone interested can sign up via the Brandon-Westman Christmas Cheer website and will be provided with a list of items to purchase to fill the hamper. The registry is also looking for volunteers to deliver hampers within the city on Dec. 17 and 18. Volunteers began packing hampers on Nov. 27.
