The North Vancouver Christmas Bureau is looking for families, individuals, community groups, office groups and others to Sponsor-a-FAMILY (or individual) in need this Christmas. In 1996, with the support of those who sponsored a family, over 900 families were served. In an effort to provide consistency donors are asked to supply a small gift and a $50.00 holiday food certificate redeemable at a North Shore grocery store for each sponsored family member. This allows the recipients to accommodate individual dietary needs, allergies, extra baby foods, etc. Gift suggestions are provided to make shopping for your hamper practical and fun. Donors are asked to bring their finished hampers to the Lucas Centre, 2132 Hamilton Street, North Vancouver on December 8th or 9th between 11 am and 7:30pm. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to share at a very special time of year. We welcome and encourage you to take part in this North Shore tradition. The Christmas Bureau relies entirely an the kindness and support of the community to meet the financial needs of the Christmas Bureau. There is no governrnent funding for this program.
