Sponsor a Family This Holiday Season
Since 2006, generous donors like you have helped bring holiday joy and seasonal cheer to hundreds of families. Thank you for making their season brighter!
Our Sponsor a Family Program
Every holiday season (September to December), our Sponsor a Family program allows you to make a meaningful difference in a local family’s life.
If you want to participate as a sponsor, you can participate in one of two ways:
- Sponsor a Family – Purchase and wrap gifts for a family matched to your preferences. You’ll also provide grocery gift cards to support their holiday meal. Tax receipts are available when you submit receipts for your contributions.
- Sponsor a Family – Donate to a Family Can’t shop or wrap gifts? No problem! Your financial donation allows our team to purchase gifts and grocery cards on your behalf, ensuring families still receive a complete holiday hamper.
How It Works
- Families are matched with sponsors based on family size.
- You receive a wish list detailing specific desires for each family member.
- Drop-off of gifts and grocery gift cards is scheduled for December 1–5 (or earlier, to suit your schedule).
- Tax receipts are issued for all eligible contributions.
Sign up by November 7, 2025 to participate in this year’s program.
Your generosity brings hope, joy, and dignity to families in our community—and creates lasting holiday memories for everyone involved.
