2020 Holiday Gift Card Drive!

Charles Dickens Elementary PAC
2020 Holiday Gift Card Drive

The holidays will be a little different this year, so with that in mind, 

we have changed up our usual Holiday Hampers program into a special Holiday Gift Card Drive.

The need in the community is great and the best way for us to help is to 

match gift cards with those in need, so we Spread Joy, Not Germs! 

We have partnered with Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood House, 

Aunt Leah’s Place and Baby-Go-Round.
