We Need Your Support
We partner with a variety of community organizations across Vancouver to ensure that the support we offer is aligned with the unique needs of the diverse families they serve. In response to the evolving world, our hampers now include gift cards to better accommodate these needs. Gift cards empower families by providing the flexibility to select items that best suit their personal preferences and circumstances, offering both respect and impactful support. To make this possible, we are especially seeking your financial contributions to help us raise $50,000 towards the purchase of these gift cards. Your support will make a meaningful difference in our drive this year.
As in previous years, each Junior School Homeroom and Senior School Advisory Group will be responsible for collecting specific items. Junior School Homerooms will gather food items, with designated grades also collecting new books (Grades 1, 3, 5, and 7) and toys (Kindergarten, Grades 2, 4, and 6). We kindly ask that books and toys be suitable for children aged 0-8 and that toys be non-battery operated, non-rechargeable, and gender-neutral. Senior School Advisory Groups will focus on collecting household necessities. We encourage you to shop for these items with your son and take the opportunity to discuss the importance of this initiative.
Over the next four weeks, a variety of events will take place at both the Junior and Senior Schools, providing all St. George’s students with the opportunity to engage with and learn from this meaningful experience. This year, we’re also excited to introduce new community events that will offer the entire Saints community a chance to come together during the festive season in support of the Hamper Drive. Stay tuned for more details in the eNews and on this homepage.
Finally, on Community Day, held on Saturday, December 14th at the Senior School, we will assemble hampers and care packages in preparation for delivery to our partner agencies and schools on December 16th. To make this assembly and delivery process a success, we are seeking parent volunteers to lend a hand on one or both of these days.
