The Christmas Sharing Program is our annual holiday initiative to support families in need by providing gifts, meals, and essential supplies during the Christmas season. With your help, we ensure that every child experiences the magic of the holidays, and every family feels cared for. The Chilliwack Salvation Army and Chilliwack Community Services have been partners in providing local families with Christmas hampers since 1987 with the Salvation Army providing families with the food portion of the hamper and Chilliwack Community Services providing the toy/gift portion for children up to 18 years old.

To help us support as many children as possible, we kindly ask that families apply for a toy hamper through only one community partner. If you have already applied with another community partner, please do not submit an application with us. We work together with other partners to verify applications and ensure that each family receives one hamper, allowing us to reach children who might otherwise go without.
