Thank you to everyone who donated to Sponsor a Family. This initiative has now closed. If you would still like to donate, please donate to the Family Fund which will remain open (see bottom of this page).
Since 2006, we have brought Seasonal Joy and the Holiday Spirit to hundreds of families because of generous donors like you. Your donations have ensured that families would be merry with gifts under the tree and food on the table during the holiday season. Thank you!
We sincerely hope you will continue to share your giving spirit and make the Season Bright again for so many people. As an organization, we have also recognized that our community is changing and we want to ensure that our programs change to continue to meet the most urgent and unique needs of the diverse populations we serve. At this time, we are seeing increased need for life essentials throughout the year and recognize the community wants to address that need.
Our year-around Family Fund program has been developed to meet the ongoing needs of our community. It runs throughout the year and supports families (in all their variations) in need throughout the year.
Every holiday season, we also implement our Sponsor a Family program, which runs from September to the end of November. In this program:
- You will be matched with the size of family as indicated on your sponsorship form
- You will be given a wish list that identifies specific desires for each member of the family
- You will then purchase and wrap the items and bring them, along with food hamper gift cards to KCR for us to distribute to the families in December
This option allows you to share the excitement of the season with your own family by fulfilling the hopes and wishes of another family. You will be able to get a tax receipt for contributions by submitting the receipts for the gifts. If you are not able to physically purchase the gifts for the families and would still like to provide a hamper for a family, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. Currently, this initiative is closed until next fall, 2025.
For those of you who would prefer to make a financial donation, we ask you to donate to the Family Fund. This simple option ensures that we can meet the needs of families throughout the holiday season while building a fund that will meet urgent needs throughout the year. Your contribution will get an immediate tax receipt and you will be updated on the impact of the Family Fund throughout the coming year.
Thank you for your amazing support of community and families. We truly appreciate any help you are able to provide.
