Hope for the Holidays
Where joy shines brighter together!
The holidays are a time of wonder – a season filled with laughter, light and connection. But for many children, youth and families in our community, this time of year can also bring uncertainty. You can change that story.
When you stand with BGC Ottawa, you bring hope for the holidays and strength for the year ahead. Every act of kindness – whether through a financial contribution or the donation of food, gifts or essentials – helps create brighter futures for the children, youth and families who rely on us.
Make a monetary gift
Twice the holiday cheer!
Mark Motors Group is matching your gift – up to $25,000!
Your donation helps keep our Clubhouses open and full of life – providing nutritious snacks and meals, mentorship, recreation and programs that empower youth all year long.
Give today and watch your generosity double the impact and the joy.
Support a member, family or clubhouse
Bring the spirit of the season to life by helping families experience joy, comfort and connection. You can:
- Support a member with warm clothing, toys, games, gift cards or holiday treats.
- Support a family by building a festive hamper filled with food, household goods and thoughtful gifts.
- Support a clubhouse with holiday décor, nutritious food for celebrations or program supplies to keep the fun going throughout the holiday season.
Whether you gather friends to create a giving tree, host a toy or food drive, or organize a community collection, every item you share delivers a message of care and belonging.
Give the gift of hope this holiday season.
Ways to give this holiday season
Each year, BGC Ottawa identifies families in need and partners with generous donors and businesses to provide Holiday Hampers—essential packages of food and household items. These hampers bring relief to families, offering not only necessities but also a few extra treats to brighten the holidays.
By making a special year-end gift of $250, $300, $500, or even $1,000, you can help fill a Holiday Hamper for a family in need. Plus, your generosity will go twice as far, as every dollar you give will be matched through a special offer from Loblaws, doubling the impact of your gift.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our Angel Tree Program this year. With your support, every Member who attended a holiday party at one of our Clubhouses received a present from under the tree. Thank you for putting a smile on kids faces and for spreading festive cheer.
