Help support our community this holiday season!
Tina Rowntree and the Christmas Brunch Committee are dedicated supporters of Family Services of the North Shore and 2023 will mark the 27th year that they will come together in support of the Christmas Bureau! Over those years, Tina and the Committee have gathered for beautiful brunches and donated hundreds of toys for all ages. This event has not only brought in 100’s of toys and gifts for families in need but since 2020 has raised over $57,000 to ensure no child woke up on Christmas morning without something special. Your support has a deep and lasting impact in our community and we thank you!
“Thank you for making this Christmas possible for us. I lost my husband when one of my girls was 3 and the other was a newborn, and we have been struggling ever since then. Your gifts made my kids scream with joy and excitement, and they can’t wait to open them on Christmas Day.”
This year the need on the North Shore is as great as ever and we don’t want anyone to feel isolated or alone. Funds raised will directly support seniors, families, individuals, children, and youth in need by providing holiday gift baskets to families, toys and presents for children, and gift cards to youth giving them the gift of hope, choice, and belonging! If you are able to support our North Shore neighbours this holiday season, please donate here.
Thank you for helping us fill the stockings, gift baskets, and hearts of children, families, and individuals and ensuring they know they are thought about, cared for, and connected to their community.
With thanks to the dedicated committee: Tina Rowntree, Lorena Angus, Golya Bordian, Susan Cressey, Dierdre Ert, Shima Golfeshan, Joanne Lauria, Barb Lunter, Elizabeth Price, Beth Rowntree, Debbie Smith, Joanne Stewart, Linda Wolverton.
