It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Christmas Cheer Board! As we head in to our 105th year, we again will be located at 895 Century Street.
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.
The 2023 Cheer Board season saw well over 20,000 hampers distributed to individuals and families across Winnipeg. It demonstrated an unprecedented need in Winnipeg and came with it’s own challenges. While we may have not reached every family last year, we start this year thinking about the increase of individuals accessing our resources and how to best meet that need.
As always, the Christmas Cheer Board cannot spread joy without the help of our amazing volunteers! There are many opportunities to volunteer at the Christmas Cheer Board – from taking applications over the phone or helping pack hampers in our warehouse to delivering hampers to those in need – WE NEED YOU!
We have many events planned for this year and they are coming fast! The Hamper Application Call Centre will open Tuesday, November 5th at 9 am with hamper packing for thousands of recipients starting shortly after. Pick up and Deliveries will start in December.
As we celebrate our 105th year of giving, we hope you can join us in making 2024 an incredible season!
