The Gift of Giving

The holidays can be a difficult time for families facing financial hardship. The Strathcona Christmas Bureau aims to ease that burden by providing Christmas hampers for approximately 600+ families filled with gifts. You can be a part of this worthy cause by donating new, unwrapped toys, gifts, or even make a monetary contribution.

Light Up a Child’s Face with These Donation Ideas

The Strathcona Christmas Bureau is looking for a variety of unwrapped gifts to fill their hampers. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Unleash their creativity: Consider books (coloring books, children’s picture books, adult books) or art supplies.
Family Fun: Board games are a great way to bring people together and create lasting memories.
Tech Savvy: Small electronics like portable speakers are popular gifts for all ages.
Get Active: Donate sporting equipment like skateboards, helmets, basketballs, or jump ropes to encourage healthy play.
Cuddle Buddies: Dolls, stuffed animals, and plush toys offer comfort and companionship.
Vroom Vroom: Toy trucks, cars, and other RC vehicles are always a hit.
Don’t Forget the Little Ones: Toys specifically designed for babies and toddlers (ages 0-2) are also needed.
GIFT CARDS: Support Local Businesses by purchasing a $25 gift card for teens/adults. (Walmart, Winners, Dollarama, Sephora, Shoppers, Claires, Fast Food, Cineplex)

The Power of Monetary Donations

While physical gifts are wonderful, sometimes a monetary donation offers the Strathcona Christmas Bureau the flexibility to purchase specific items they may be short on. Every contribution makes a difference! You can contribute online through the Strathcona Christmas Bureau website https://www.strathconachristmasbureau.com/donate/
