Thank you for your support
Because of your kindness and support, we were able to help over 150 families across our community over the 2024 holiday season. These families received the support they needed to enjoy a brighter holiday, and your contributions played a significant role in making this possible.
Your continued support not only helps us provide tangible assistance during the holidays but also strengthens our year-round efforts to empower children, youth, and families through BGC Okanagan programs.
From all of us at BGC Okanagan, and on behalf of the families whose lives you’ve touched, thank you for making a difference. We are so grateful to have you as a part of our community.

BGC Okanagan Adopt-a-Family or Club over the Holidays or at any time of the year!
Your chance is here to make a difference to children, youth and families in the Okanagan!
BGC Okanagan’s Adopt-a-Family or Adopt-a-Club program matches families and young people or Clubs with businesses, organizations, schools, service groups and individual sponsors. Our families/youth are current members of our programs and services and are identified as needing support at this time of year.
Over the past 18 years, sponsors have assembled food and gift hampers for families, who due to a variety of circumstances were unable to give their family the food and gifts they would like to ensure their families experienced the joy of the season like others around them. This year we are encouraging donors to consider making a monetary donation or donate gift cards so we can ensure families and youth have food and their basic needs met as they face the challenges and uncertainty that 2024 have brought with inflation. All donations will be used to provide e-cards which empowers and allows youth and families to purchase food and small gifts to make their holidays a little more joy-filled. This ensure both our donors and sponsors are safe during these challenging times.
This year sponsors are encouraged to choose from the following:
Donate:
Size of family you are interested in sponsoring with suggested hamper value – 1 Young Person ($150), Small Family of 2-3 people ($300), Medium Family of 4-6 people ($500), Large Family of 7+ people ($800).
