Over the past 20+ years, our heartwarming annual tradition has evolved and grown in response to the ever-increasing hunger in our community.

Last year we had a record 216 Hampers. The need is even greater this year.
Our goal this year is 250!!

 We will have music and family entertainment in the Christmas spirit again this year!

Music and a show for the children – of all ages

We have a few changes this year. These are things that we tried last year, and they worked very well.

Here’s this year’s plan! – over two (2) days:
 
On Friday night we will gather and set up the hall for the main event. We will also be organizing all the non-perishable food items.

On Saturday we will be assembling and decorating the food hampers. We will need teams of people for this event, and we will need a team to manage the recycling as we go. This year we will have a new team to deliver hampers to those who are unable to pick them up.

The sign up for these is on the Potluck page of the invitation that you received. If you did not receive an invitation, please email us christmashamperparty@gmail.com and we will send you one.
 
On both days we recommend that you wear masks, and we provide a sanitation station. 

How can you help?

BULK PURCHASING IS WHAT MAKES IT WORK

We used to have people bring all the actual fresh food items for our hampers but found we can create 5x more hampers by doing bulk purchasing. Donations and hamper-building are now the main attractions! Of course, we know that some people really enjoy the tradition of donating food and that will always be welcomed and appreciated.

DONATIONS:

Instant Donations: Please e-transfer donations to christmashamperparty@gmail.com
and remember to Include your name and postal address if you would like a tax receipt for donations of $20 or more.

Cash Donations: The address for delivering and/or mailing cash/cheques prior to the party is 1970 Newton St, Victoria BC V8R 2R6. Thank you!

We are so excited to be directly partnered with the Salvation Army. So many less fortunate people have their lives brightened up through them – especially at Christmas.

We welcome your comments!
