We’re here to help you celebrate the holidays
If you’re unable to afford the holidays and would like to participate in the Christmas Bureau, our community is here to help you. Many of the families who now give back to the Christmas Bureau were participants at some point in their lives, too.
The Christmas Bureau is located at 600 West Queens Road, Old Delbrook Rec Centre, North Building, North Vancouver, BC V7N 2L3.
How the Christmas Bureau works
Our Christmas Bureau volunteer team is here to help you in a few different ways:
The Toy Shop – You can choose new, donated toys and gifts for your children ages 18 and younger. We know that toys and gifts for children are expensive, and The Toy Shop is a place where you can select a present that you can give to your child yourself.
Holiday gift baskets – You can also choose to receive a basket filled with grocery gift cards, wrapped presents for each member of your family, and other festive items. Our community understand that holiday time can be difficult and expensive, and they want you to have what you need to celebrate the season with your family.
