An annual Christmas tradition will be held tomorrow morning in downtown Moncton.
Over 1,500 hungry people, who will all look a little bit like Rudolph, will gather at the Delta Beausejour.
President of the Greater Moncton Men’s Progress Club Chris MacDonald says they’ve come a long way since the first Antler Breakfast held around 15 years ago.
“When we first started off, we were in the former Highfield Square location, our club members got together, there was probably 10-12 of us at the time, and we spent all night to prepare the food for the morning,” says MacDonald. “We’d serve roughly 800-1,000 breakfasts, and raise $1,200.”
MacDonald adds this is their biggest Christmas fundraiser, saying in 2017 they raised $40,000 while serving 1,600 meals.
He says money goes to programs like Camp Livingston, and to Sistema, two well known programs for youth.
The Antler Breakfast takes place from 6:30 until 9 Friday morning.
