Christmas Gift Drive
in Partnership with Family SOS
“Joy to the world, the Lord is come!” At Christmas, we celebrate the gift of Jesus and all we’ve received in Him: love, grace, and hope beyond measure. His generosity toward us invites us to be generous toward others.
This Christmas, we’re partnering with Family SOS to provide gifts for individuals from local families facing financial challenges. As these families open their gifts on Christmas morning, we hope they’ll feel cared for and experience something of the joy that Christ’s love brings. We’d love for you to join us in sharing that joy with our neighbours in need across HRM!
About Family SOS
Family SOS is a community-based organization supporting children, youth, and families across the Halifax Regional Municipality. Based in Spryfield and serving families for nearly 50 years, they believe every family deserves the opportunity to feel supported, connected, and able to thrive.
Through free parenting programs, child and youth programs, and food security initiatives, Family SOS works alongside families facing challenges. Their programs build on families’ strengths, offer practical support, and help create safe, stable, and nurturing environments for children and caregivers.
