Boxes of Love

The Boxes of Love is an annual event that spreads Christmas joy to vulnerable families in Greater Vancouver. Hosted at various locations, it offers a day filled with arts, crafts, and festive activities. Each family receives a deluxe Christmas package with gifts, grocery gift cards, and nutritious food support through the Food for Families program.

^{Raise $160,000.
Give toys to 2,000 kids.
Feed 800 families.}

A donation of $200 can help provide a child with a special gift to unwrap, create a fun and festive event, and help a family put food on the table this season. Together, we can remind every child that they are seen, valued, and not alone this Christmas.
