Since 1972 Mission Community Services Society’s Christmas Bureau has made a difference in the lives of thousands of vulnerable families by providing festive food hampers and toys at Christmas time.

Although things may look a little different this year, the team of staff and volunteers are committed to ensuring families will receive toys and festive food hampers. New health and safety guidelines will ensure the safety and wellbeing of all those involved.

Registration for this year’s Christmas Bureau will be completed online and will run from November 2nd to November 27th, with supports in place to assist with registration this 2020 holiday season.

For the health and safety of our clients, volunteers and staff we are launching an online registration portal for the 2020 holiday season.
