For 85 years

The Christmas Bureau has been providing holiday meals (and joy) to Edmontonians in need.

Rooted in community and compassion, our organization is connected to over 100 social service agencies, community partnerships, and 800+ volunteers to bring together our Christmas-giving Festive Food Hamper Program.

Operational all year long, it takes our team 10 months to plan, coordinate, and execute food service deliveries to over 60,000 people during the holiday season. No easy task considering the need for our services has almost tripled in 2022.

So, we implore you to find new ways to help us reach our goals for 2025. Whether it’s your time, monthly donations, fundraising efforts, or corporate sponsorships, everything everywhere and all at once will make an incredible difference before December 25. 

Because at the end of the day, joy starts with you.

WAYS TO HELP

FOOD HAMPERS

Providing a festive meal to over 50,000 people every year.

SPONSOR A HAMPER

It’s an excellent opportunity for those who want to help Edmonton families in a more hands-on way. And, by delivering the hamper, you’ll see the impact you have on a family directly.

Joy, it’s yours to give
