SHARE JOY
SHARE Joy this holiday season
SHARE Joy is SHARE Family & Community Services’ holiday program that provides gifts for families with children and holiday food hampers for families and individuals. The holiday season inevitably brings additional financial pressure for many families. SHARE’s holiday programs will help brighten the lives of 2,000 Tri-Cities families, ensuring every child is well-fed and has something to treasure.
Kicking off our holiday program is the SHARE Toy Drive on Saturday, November 23rd, at Coquitlam Centre from 12 pm to 4 pm. The goal of the event is to collect toys and gifts at a family-friendly event with holiday activities and themed photos. Help SHARE transform a young life—one gift at a time. SHARE is on a mission to collect 1,500 unwrapped toys, with a special request for tweens and teens. Coquitlam Centre is matching every gift card purchased at the Toy Drive on November 23rd.
