Adopt a BGC Okanagan Family/Club 2025

Brighten the Holidays for Okanagan Families

Your kindness can help local children, youth, and families experience the joy of the holidays.

The holidays should be a time of warmth, connection, and joy — but for many families across the Okanagan, this season brings stress and uncertainty instead. By donating to BGC Okanagan’s Adopt-A-Family campaign, you’re helping ensure no family goes without.

Your gift provides food, small gifts, and the comfort of knowing their community cares. Together, we can make the holidays brighter for everyone.

Three Ways to Make a Difference

1️⃣ Donate Online

Make a secure monetary donation through our portal below.

Every dollar helps provide e-cards and gift cards that empower families to purchase the food and gifts they need most — safely and with dignity.

2️⃣ Sponsor a Family

Prefer to assemble a hamper? You can still create a personalized gift of hope for a local family. Choose the size of family you’d like to support, download the sponsorship form, and we’ll match you with a child, youth, or family through one of our BGC Okanagan Clubs.

Your Impact: Hope Delivered Across the Okanagan

Last year, more than 150 families received hampers and e-cards through the Adopt-A-Family campaign — bringing meals, gifts, and smiles to homes across the region.

“One mother shared that she’d been stressed about not being able to get her children presents. When the hamper arrived, her kids were surprised and overjoyed — they hadn’t expected gifts that year.”

This year, you can be part of that story. Your donation directly supports Okanagan children, youth, and families; giving them the chance to experience the holidays with hope and joy.

Your generosity truly brightens the holidays for Okanagan families and your kindness creates ripples that last all year long through BGC Okanagan’s programs that empower children and youth to reach their full potential.

From all of us at BGC Okanagan, and on behalf of every family you touch this season — thank you.
