Each year, working with our community including businesses, individuals and Touchstone staff Holiday Hampers are delivered to Touchstone client families who need support during the winter holiday season.
Holiday Hampers include gifts for children, home essentials, grocery items or gift cards and more.

 

 

Organizations and individuals can sponsor a family, make a financial donation and / or purchase a grocery gift card and donate it to complete a hamper.
We start matching our client families to a sponsor during the fall.  This gives our sponsors time to shop, wrap and deliver the hampers to Touchstone.
The support we receive from the community is so appreciated!


Become a Sponsor

We match individuals / organizations with a Touchstone client (an individual, youth or family) in financial need.  We base the match on your budget and the needs of the recipient.  Our counsellors, work closely with our client families identify who is in need and work with our clients to provide a “wish list” including their needs with a wish or two included.  Then, our sponsors shop, wrap and prepare the hamper.  We will arrange delivery of the hamper during the first week or so in December.

 

Donate

  1. Donate Funds – visit our donation page to donate via credit card online.  To direct funds to the hamper program select “Holiday Hamper” and we will take care of the shopping. (Donations of $20 and above receive a tax receipt.)
  2. Purchase and donate a grocery gift card.  Grocery gift cards are included in holiday hampers and provided to clients (individuals/youth or families) who need them.

 

Check in with us in the fall – we start matching families to sponsors during the months of October and early November.
