Give the gift of time

OUR STORY

Since 1940, the Christmas Bureau has been providing holiday meals (and joy) to Edmontonians in need.

Rooted in community and compassion, our organization is connected to over 100 social service agencies, community partnerships, and 800+ volunteers to bring together these Christmas-giving programs: our Food Hamper Program and the Adopt-A-Teen Program.

We believe it is greater than one meal and that one act of kindness can impact someone for a lifetime - and it starts with people like you.
