🎁 In December 2014, the Horizon School Division Board of Education launched the Christmas Hamper Project with a vision of bringing holiday cheer to families in our communities. Since its inception, this initiative has provided gifts, grocery certificates, and essential items to 3,309 children from 1,259 families across Horizon School Division.

Each year, we are inspired by the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers. We are deeply grateful to our students, school community councils, staff, local businesses, and community members who come together to make this project a success. Your kindness helps ensure that every child experiences the magic of the holiday season.

The Christmas Hamper Project continues to grow, and we rely on your support to bring joy to even more families this year. Whether through donations of gifts, grocery store cards, quilts, hygiene items, toques, or mittens, every contribution makes a meaningful difference.

Please contact Marni at 306-682-8639 or marni[dot]sogge[at]horizonsd.ca to contribute by donating cash or items, or helping with wrapping and assembly of the hampers. Thank you for your generosity! 

Thank you for helping spread joy and warmth this holiday season! 🌟

Thank you to our 2024 sponsors!
