Delivery/Pickup

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE 2024 SEASON

For Christmas 2024, we will again, not be packing a food hamper and will distribute gift cards instead. This is the reason for our name change – we are no longer the Christmas Hamper Program, but instead the Christmas Food Program!

Register online for your Christmas Food at www.christmassupport.ca. Please note that there is just one form for food and toys.

Once again we will be providing a choice between two gift cards, as well as a choice of frozen meat product. When you apply, you will choose what you would like to receive, and how you would like to receive it.

The options we have available are:

1. Delivery: Deliveries of the gift card and frozen meat product are available on Saturday, Dec 7 and Sunday, Dec 8 between 9:00am and 2:00pm. A confirmation email will be sent once registration has been completed and received.
2. Centralized pickup locations: Pickup locations will allow participants to pick up their turkey and gift card in a convenient location. These pickups are available by appointment and are available from December 11^th -13^th. When you register you will choose the location, date and time that works best for you.
