The Students Association at Mount Royal University (SAMRU) is reaching out to Calgarians for help.

SAMRU said applications for gift hampers are at an all-time high, but there are fewer sponsors this year.

So far, they only have enough for 71 students, even though 247 people are struggling and need support.

The deadline to sponsor a gift hamper wish list is this Friday.

SAMRU is a registered charity, so donors can get a charitable tax receipt for any donation over $20.
