Community Christmas Hamper Campaign

Chalmers-Wesley is a proud member of the Community Christmas Hamper Campaign. This committee organizes, raises funds and collects non-perishable food and buys fresh food to fill generous Christmas Hampers (boxes of groceries) which are then delivered to needy families in and around Quebec City. The committee is co-ordinated through the Jeffery Hale Community Services and is made up of members from about twelve local churches, and other interested civic organizations. Many local organizations and schools hold special fundraising events and many businesses donate food, services or other necessary supplies to help make the Campaign a success.

In December 2010, over 200 volunteers collected, sorted and packed groceries. On Saturday, December 18, Christmas hampers were delivered to 108 households helping to provide 277 family members with the means to have a delicious Christmas dinner and enough groceries to feed them for many more days to come. In addition, IGA grocery vouchers were mailed to 96 households, helping 245 family members. In total, the 2010 Community Hamper Campaign helped a total of 204 households = 481 family members!
