Give the gift of time

Since 1940, 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 food hampers and festive meals to over 50,000 people every year. 

We believe it is greater than one meal and that one act of kindness can impact someone for a lifetime - and it starts with people like you.

The Christmas Bureau formally adopts the Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement. The Code has important elements that articulate values, guiding principles and organizational standards for volunteer programs in non-profit and volunteer sector organizations. To learn more about the Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement, please visit Volunteer Canada.

Proud member of the following organizations: Volunteer CanadaVolunteer Alberta, and the Edmonton Chamber of Volunteer Organizations.
