Thank you for your generosity

Help deliver some goodness!

Join our efforts from November 1 to December 16, 2023!

For over 25 years, the English-speaking community of the Greater Québec City region has collaborated in running a successful Community Christmas Hamper Campaign, distributing hampers to over 200 homes in need. Here are ways that you can help with the campaign. Choose one, choose all!

  • Making a monetary donation using our secure online donation form powered by CanadaHelps OR by cheque
  • Offering your volunteer time
  • Helping to spread the word by becoming a partner or downloading our printable and shareable publicity tools.

Where does my donation go?

Your monetary donations go towards purchasing the food for the hampers - fruit, vegetables, meats and some non-perishable items. Our biggest purchases are bread, eggs and turkey, which complete a traditional holiday dinner.

This annual Campaign is a big challenge with a heart-warming outcome. Learn more in the press release, infographic or video.

Thank you for helping deliver some goodness!

Receive

How and when can I register?

Anyone in need of a hamper may register by contacting a church, organization or institution listed in the hamper registry pamphlet before Monday, November 13, 2023.

If your child attends a school in the Central Quebec School Board, you can contact your school social worker or nurse who may be reached at Jeffery Hale Community Services, 418-684-5333, ext. 11805.

What happens once I’ve registered?

This is a confidential service. Your contact person will give your name and address confidentially to the central registry for the Community Christmas Hamper Campaign. After this is done, names and addresses will be checked for duplication. Your contact person will call you to tell you the date and the approximate time of delivery. We would ask that you make a point of being at home to receive your hamper. It will be delivered to you by a team of volunteers.

What are other helpful resources available to me?

If you need further help, there are many community services that may be of help to you, including: referrals to other helping agencies (food banks), help with income tax returns, access to a free job bank.
