With the skyrocketing cost of living over the last year, it’s not hard to imagine Christmas will be extra challenging for many families this year.
Enter Squamish Community Christmas Care. The organization is now accepting applications for families with children, seniors, and couples to receive its Christmas hampers.
In 2023, it put together and delivered 400 hampers, helping over 1,000 locals celebrate the season.
The deadline to request a hamper is Friday, Nov. 15.
Application forms can be picked up and dropped off at most Squamish churches, PearlSpace, Under One Roof, and Sea to Sky Community Services. You can also download an application from communitychristmascare.com.
(If you encounter any issues, email [email protected]).
If anyone would like to make a donation, register as a volunteer, or sign up their organization or business to help, they can visit the organization's website.
