Share comfort. Create connection. Spread joy.
The holidays are brighter when we come together. By supporting a member, family or BGC Ottawa Clubhouse, you can help bring warmth, comfort and celebration to those who need it most. Whether you give on your own, with coworkers or as part of a community group, your kindness reminds children and families that they belong.
Every contribution – big or small – helps spark hope for the holidays.
Ways to support
Support
a Member*
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*
Build a festive hamper filled with food, household goods and thoughtful gifts to help a family enjoy the comfort and joy of the holidays. Each hamper you create delivers more than essentials – it delivers hope and connection.
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.
