As the calendar turns over to October, Christmas Cheer Board operations begin to ramp up. This year will see us at a new location – 895 Century St.

Last year was such a busy year for us over at the CCB. We delivered a record number of hampers - over 18,000 hampers to families across Winnipeg and over 20,000 gifts were distributed to children in the city. Over 1,200 Ukrainian newcomers applied for and received support from the CCB.

This year we open with a fresh, new look for our organization and website.

With a tradition of giving for over 100 years, the Christmas Cheer Board remains a community-driven and grass-roots team that delivers food, toys and cheer to people in need.

Anyone interested in volunteering can visit our volunteer page to register and look at this season’s volunteer opportunities.

Many things are on the move over the next few weeks, so look for us to open our Hamper Application lines – 204-989-5683/204-948-2022 on Friday, November 3 at 9 am.

Over the month of November, we’ll receive and build thousands of hampers for our recipients.

Pickup and deliveries will start in December.

We look forward to seeing many familiar faces and new ones as we begin our 104th year of operations!
