Donation Impact

​

During the 2022 and 2023 seasons, instead of toys, we chose to provide gift cards from several local vendors to our applicants which will help provide the flexibility to customize their meals, and their child’s unique gift. In 2023, we provided more than 1000 members of our community with gift cards too make the holiday season a little bit brighter.

​

Wondering what your donation can do? Here’s how each gift helped in 2023:

 

• $50: Provided a toy gift card for a child, sparking joy and excitement.

• $100: Supplied a grocery gift card to help an individual with holiday meals.

• $350: Supported a family of 4 with grocery and gift cards, creating lasting memories.

​

Should you wish to donate a physical gift, please refer to the Bow Valley Elves tab on our website.
