What it does — in its own words
Ongoing programs
WE PROVIDE HAMPERS AT CHRISTMAS TIME FOR RESIDENTS OF BOWEN ISLAND IN NEED. THE HAMPERS INCLUDE DONATED FRESH VEGTABLES CANNED FOOD A BOX OF CHOCOLATES A BOX OF STUFFING CRANBERRY JELLS GRAVY MIX AND FROXEN TURKEY. WE GIVE EACH ONE AN ENVOLOPE WITH GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR LOCAL CAFES AND FOOD STORES AND LONDON DRUGS SO THAT PEOPLE CAN BUY WHAT THEY NEED FOR THEIR FAMILY
New programs
THE LOCAL VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS HAVE FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS DONE A TOY DRIVE JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND THEY DONATE MOST OF THE TOYS TO THE HAMPER FUND. WE THEN DISTRIBUTE THE TOYS ALONG WITH THE HAMPERS TO THE APPROPRAIET AGED CHILDREN. WE ALSO HAVE A LOCAL PET FOUNDATION THAT DONATES PET FOOD FOR THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE PET. THESE ARE ADDED TO THE HAMPERS
