Give comfort. Create connection. Spread joy.
The holidays are brighter when we come together. While our opportunity to support a family with a festive hamper is now at full capacity, you can still make a meaningful impact by supporting a child or youth with warm clothing, toys, games or gift cards, ensuring every young person feels cared for and included. You can also help by providing program supplies that keep activities running strong and spirits high at our Clubhouses.
Every contribution – big or small – helps spark hope for the holidays.
Ways to support
Support
a Child*
Help make the season special for a child or teen in our Clubhouses.
Your gift of warm clothing, toys, games, gift cards or holiday treats ensures every young person feels cared for and included.
Support
a Family*
Thank you for the incredible response! We are currently at full capacity and unable to take on additional hampers this season. We’re grateful for your generosity and community support.
Support
a Clubhouse
Bring holiday spirit to an entire Clubhouse!
Your contribution of seasonal décor, nutritious food for celebrations or program supplies helps keep activities running strong and spirits high all season long.
*BGC Ottawa staff identify families and youth in need and match them with a donor. Each donor receives a short profile that includes the family’s make-up, greatest needs, interests, clothing sizes and other helpful details.
