Adopt-A-Family

There is something about the holiday season that calls to a special place within each of us. There is something about the magic in the air that makes us want to ensure no one is left behind.
The Adopt-A-Family program provides Christmas hampers to low-income families referred to us by counsellors working in recognized social service agencies. Eligible families cannot have received a hamper in the past three years and will not receive any other hamper during the holiday season.
If you have any questions, please use the contact form to email us!

We are always in need of grocery and other gift cards (Walmart, Superstore, Old Navy, and Children’s Place are some of the most common needs we have).
Families Looking to Be Adopted/ Agencies:
All referrals to our program MUST come through a registered social agency. We request that all families being referred are actively participating in a social program within the referring agency.
If you are a family looking to be referred in 2022 and are not yet working with an agency please phone 211 to be directed to social agencies that fit the needs of your family.
Agency referrals open on September 23, 2022.
