Let’s Make a Difference
Christmas is a time to pause and reflect on the important things around us: joy, love, charity, compassion, family, and community. And our sincere wish is for Christmas to be a time of happiness for everyone. We invite you to join us in our efforts to ease the stress and anxiety that can affect families during this season. So, together, let’s work towards a common goal: ensuring every child in our community enjoys a heartwarming smile on Christmas Day.
Donate Funds
The Christmas season can be a difficult time for many. When you donate to our organization, you make sure that a child has a gift under the tree, a family has enough food for their holiday dinner, and a caregiver can focus on the things that truly matter. It is easiest to give online, using our secure donation page. Tax receipts for donations received are issued in January of each year.
Donate Toys
We gratefully accept new, unwrapped toys, gift cards, and monetary donations—every gift makes a difference. Your generosity means so much to us! You can drop off new, unwrapped toys at the Christmas Hamper office from Wednesday 19th November to Thursday 18th December. Our office will be open daily from 10 am to 1 pm for deliveries. And thank you for your support.
Donate Used Items
We’re excited to announce that Rudolph’s Recycle Gift Shoppe will be open for registered families. We gladly accept gently used items such as toys, puzzles, games, books, crafts, decorations, clothing (especially winter wear, coats, and boots), housewares, blankets, bedding, towels, jewelry, and unopened toiletries. However, we cannot accept furniture, large hard-plastic toys, stuffed toys, VCR tapes, or previously used underwear and socks. Donations can be dropped off Tuesdays – Fridays between 10am – 3pm, at the Exhibit Building, located opposite the Christmas Hamper office.
Sponsor a Family
The Good Neighbour Program allows families and businesses to sponsor a family, and we are continually blessed by the generosity of our local community. Applications to sponsor a family are open until Monday, 1st December 2025. Once your application is submitted, our office will contact you with further instructions and details about your matched family. Your support means the world and will help bring joy to families in our community this holiday season.
Thank You For Your Support!
