The Hood River County Christmas Project says it needs donations from the public more than ever after the first two weeks of on-line registration of assistance has resulted in enrollment already up by more than 100 families from last year, and there’s still three weeks of signups remaining. The project’s Bruce Holmson says they may see family registrations go above the 700 mark by the time the reach the December 7 deadline. Families who register receive a food gift card from their choice of four local grocery stores and a toy gift card for each child up to 18-years-old.
