High Point Community Church in Vic West, 949 Fullerton Ave

We are super excited to announce that because the Salvation Army is expanding their hamper distribution system to include Esquimalt and Saanich locations, they are able to give us High Point Community Church as this year’s party venue.  This means that…

Families will be able to pick up their hampers directly from the party!

There will be no need for refrigeration, the Salvation Army won’t have to arrange trucks and, since we always place a massive bulk order with Wholesale Club close by, we’ll be saving backs, too.  All our hampers will go straight to the needy in Victoria and Esquimalt.

This is an opportunity for us to spread even more holiday spirit!

Along with our usual holiday music, we’re hoping to provide treats—not just for our workers, but for those picking up their hampers, as well.  Just think what fun that will be for all of us!

We’re going for 200 hampers!

In 2019 we donated 179 hampers and last year we raised an impressive $10,350 in cash for Santas Anonymous, but we couldn’t appeal to the generous in-kind business donors who normally support us.  By soliciting business donors, comparison shopping, and buying in bulk we can actually stretch donations further creating hampers than we can by raising money to buy grocery gift cards.  So…

Our goal is to raise $15,000 in cash and food donations

let us fill those clean new hampers with nutritious fresh food, lovingly decorated.  We’ve already got the first $1300—now let’s raise the rest for the most inspiring holiday party ever!

(*And don’t worry; robust COVID-19 protocols will be in place!)

See you at the party!
