Help bring comfort & joy this holiday season

Holiday Giving Program

Be Their Secret Santa

Be Their Secret Santa is an annual holiday giving program that brings comfort and joy to St. Joseph's Care Group clients who will be alone during the holiday season. We work closely with staff from each program to determine which clients are in-need. The recipient list includes seniors in long-term care, clients in rehabilitation, and individuals receiving treatment in mental health and addictions programs. Each gift includes warm pajamas or a blanket, activity books, warm socks, mittens, and hats. We ensure each gift is personalized per client's colour and size preferences. You can get involved by donating items from the list above, by making a monetary donation, or by volunteering. Help us show these individuals that they are valued, remembered, and supported.
