Each year the Mission Christmas Bureau and Food Centre rely heavily on the community coming together and for generous donations during Christmas. Since last Christmas our Food Centre services have seen increases in the number of families needing support. We expect that this year our Christmas Bureau will also see an increase in demand than in previous years.
We are reaching out to the community through our “Wish Campaign” to collect cash and in-kind donations to make a difference, not only for families, but also for single adults including senior citizens who find it difficult to make ends meet during this time of year.
