The Christmas Basket & Toy Program supports families and individuals in need within our surrounding communities (Aurora, Bradford, East Gwillimbury, and Newmarket) during the Christmas season.
Each household receives a food basket filled with everything needed to prepare a traditional Christmas dinner, along with a gift for every child in the home, ages 0–17.
Please note that the contents of each basket are pre-selected, and substitutions cannot be made.
Our request form is NOW OPEN. Please note that all requests must be made by Friday, December 5th.
How You Can Get Involved:
Give
There are two ways to give:
1. Financially, through the link below for groceries. It is expected that the cost of a food basket will be between $75-$100.
2. Select a star to purchase a toy or gift card (valued at $25) for someone between the ages of 0 to 17. We ask that you purchase a physical gift for those 0 to 12, and gift cards for those 13-18. Please bring back your new unwrapped items to the marked bins in the foyer or upstairs in the BLAST Zone.
We are so thankful for the generous donations that this program receives each year.

SERVE
The Christmas Basket & Toy program is possible because of the countless people who serve in so many ways. If you want to be involved this year please sign up below for the specific day and role you would like.
Due to the large volume of those who would like to serve with Christmas Baskets, we ask that you only register once and choose one role to serve in.
There will be a variety of serving opportunities that will take place on Friday, December 12th and Saturday, December 13th.
