Jeffery Hale Community Partners (JH Partners) coordinates the campaign's central registry of English-speaking community members who need help during the holiday season. JH Partners is a community-based charitable organization whose mission is to better the health and wellness of the English-speaking community of the Greater Québec City (or Capitale-Nationale) region, including Portneuf and Charlevoix, with a focus on those most at risk.

JH Partners is a charity registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) since 1991 and is a leader in coordinating the Community Christmas Hamper Campaign. We now partner with the Quebec City English-Speaking Community Foundation to process and manage donations to the campaign.
