Santa needs your help more than ever
—
Last year, the Richmond Christmas Fund helped brighten the holidays for many of our neighbours in need. This year, your help is needed again.
In 2019 the Richmond Christmas Fund helped 2,915 residents, including 890 children, 337 youth, and 360 seniors.
They were provided with grocery vouchers, toys, books, and gift cards, so they could enjoy a festive holiday celebration with family and friends.
Never before had the Richmond Christmas Fund helped so many people. The overall number represented a 22 per cent increase from the previous high. But thanks to incredible community support—from volunteers, donors and, especially, the many sponsors and attendees of the second annual A Not So Silent Night fundraiser, all the needs were met.
The event, held at Jaguar Land Rover of Richmond, generated $110,000 for the Christmas Fund, making it the biggest fundraiser ever.
As a new holiday season approaches, many families are facing unprecedented financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Christmas Fund will be there to ensure they can still share in the holiday spirit.
This year’s fundraiser will take the form of a multi-week online auction, featuring a selection of high-end items available exclusively to the Christmas Fund’s major supporters. It’s being called A Not So Isolated Night.
The auction will go live in November, but you can get involved right now by donating one or more unique auction items.
If you're interested in donating an auction item, please contact Ed Gavsie at 604-279-7029 or egavsie@rcrg.org.
