Holiday Hampers
October – December, 2024
ABOUT OUR HAMPER PROGRAM:
For over 10 years, our agency has provided hampers to families in our community or agency. Originally starting with 4 hampers per year, the program has grown to over 40 hampers per year which truly speaks to the need. The cost of living is getting higher and higher, and we want to do everything we can to support our families that could use a little extra Our agency pairs sponsors with a family in the community that would benefit from extra support over the holiday season.
We then provide you with a family ‘wishlist’. The wishlist will include a family description and details about each family member, specifically their interests, favourite colours, hobbies, things, etc. It also included the family’s greatest needs, such as groceries, cleaning supplies, and small household items.
Registration to become a sponsor will start in October. Stay tuned for further information!
