For many families in our community, the holiday season can bring financial challenges, leading to stress and disappointment. At BGC Ottawa, we’re committed to supporting these families through our Holiday Hampers program. Each year, we identify families in need and work with generous donors and businesses to provide essential packages filled with food, household items, and a few small luxuries to brighten their holidays.

Commit to Spreading Holiday Joy
By making a donation, you can help bring smiles to families' faces this season. Your cash gift allows our team to customize hampers and make last-minute adjustments to meet the unique needs of each family, ensuring they receive the support they need during the holidays.
Our Goal for 2024
This year, we aim to provide 300 Holiday Hampers across our four Clubhouses, with each hamper costing ~$300. To reach this ambitious goal, we need to raise $90,000 through this campaign—beyond the generous support of our corporate partners. Thanks to a special matching gift from Loblaws, every dollar you contribute will be doubled, making your donation go twice as far to brighten the holiday season for families in our community.
How You Can Help
Funds raised will be used to purchase items for customized Holiday Hampers for local families in need. Donations received beyond our campaign goal will be used for urgent and critical needs.
